- Tune comments:
- COMMENT: Very interesting story here. Katakis was released in September 1988 by
Rainbow Arts, however it never got a release in the UK as Activision
had it cancelled because of similarities to R-type, to which
Activision had bought the conversion rights. Activision were getting
nowhere with their conversion of R-Type and they liked what they saw
of Katakis, so they hired the same programming team (Manfred Trenz and
others) to do the C64 conversion. They only got 6 weeks to write the
conversion, and sadly, it shows. Katakis was eventually altered and
released as Denaris in 1989. Tunes #2 to #14 all cover of the arcade
game. - Comments for subsong #1
