I worked for Ocean Software France at this moment. Ocean Software stopped all development on Amiga and Atari ST, so there were a few games that we working on that were never released. They wanted to focus on licenses, so all the other games were ditched

Hi there, thankfully Snow Bros and Liquid Kids were recovered in recent years.

Do you by any chance know anything about these two titles which are still at large? Guerilla War and Adidas Golden Shoe?

Not sure if i'm allowed to keep posting links here.

Yes, I programmed Snow Bros for the Atari ST. It was finished but never released. And no, I have no copy either. When I worked for Cryo, I coded a game "Trashman" for the SNES. I still have a copy of the game but it's not finished.

Sorry to hear that. I suspect that you've been asked that question a lot too about still having it by the Atari community! :) . Hopefully something will surface in the future via other means.

That sounds very interesting about Trashman and would love to learn more sometime if you were up for talking about the game? If so, please feel free to contact me via the contact form link on the website.
