Some time ago I made an entry about Pelota Vasca, one of the games from Manhattan Transfer, the closest thing to Software Working Group in the quality of its products.
We pilot a ship moving from right to left (cursors) and we have to eliminate 100 enemies (spacers) to face the mothership and go to the next phase. We also have the help of a shield (cursor up, can only be used once per phase) that will make us invulnerable for a short period of time.
The game is mediocre until saying enough is enough. All enemies are the same and the only thing that varies is the speed at which they move and the color. I do not know if it came to be for sale and, if it had, I pity the poor devil who has paid for such a thing.
CEZ note: It was for sale, it was.

Los juegos de Manhattan Transfer eran todos así, de más o menos esa calidad. Estuvo a la venta, sí, al precio de 1000 pesetas. Muchos son MIAs actualmente, ya que durante mucho tiempo sus programas solo podían ser comprados a través de talón bancario, un sistema que poca gente disponía a mediados de los 80 (luego, eso sí, ampliaron al giro postal). Su catálogo de programas era el mismo todo el rato: no descatalogaban ningún programa aunque hubieran pasado años desde que lo sacaron, y los precios los mantenían igual. Así, en 1985, antes de la bajada de precios de Erbe, cuando un juego de 8 bits te costaba 2.000 o 3.000 pesetas, era hasta bueno ver juegos como el Krypton a 500 pesetas. Pero en 1990 ver el mismo juego a ese mismo precio, teniendo en cuenta que era un juego en BASIC, era casi una broma de mal gusto.
