This game was developed in Dunedin, NEW ZEALAND on a part-time basis.
It was hot on the tail of "Laser Hawk" - a sideways scrolling shooter,
which was released in 1986. HawkQuest was released in 1989, in England.
The game design was jointly deceided upon by Harvey Kong Tin and
Andrew Bradfield. Harvey insisted upon the two-game concept which resulted
in a game that took up 4 x 90k disk sides = 360k of data. The game program
was designed to run within 48k for the Atari 800 computers, and can only run
on PAL computers sorry. The reason being the Vertical Blank period was used
to the maximum - PAL computers run at 60Hz, allowing more processing time over
NTSC computers.
