    This is a prototype of the unreleased Game Boy Color version of 40 Winks! This build has 6 playable levels and 2 playable characters (Ruff and Tumble). It seems to have been from very far along in the game's development. archive.org/details/40-w...

    Trying to find the earliest use of the right analog stick for camera control in a third person game and the oldest game I could find was 40 Winks for the PS1. A 1999 3D platformer, very similar to Mario 64 in structure, developed by Eurocom. Is there any game older than this that did that?

    I'm looking at the Atlantis: The Lost Empire PS1 game for some visual inspiration. I'm fairly certain it uses the same engine as 40 Winks (same developer, looks and controls very similar).

    Played two games this evening. I tried out 40 Winks AKA Ruff & Tumble for the first time. A Eurocom platformer with colourful cartoony graphics and responsive controls. The other was good ole Medal of Honor on Playstation. That game never gets old. Then again, shooting Nazis never does either. 🤘🏻

    "We need to implement Memory Card saves for the Playstation version of 40 Winks!" "Upon saving, the six-year-olds playing this game should be greeted with an almost Lynchian image of the villain's head floating in a black void, with no audio."

    I'm patiently waiting/hoping for a soundtrack rip of 40 Winks for Gameboy Color. Someone bought that unreleased prototype game a few years ago. We got a glimpse at the absolutely outlandish (and cool) soundtrack but a release of the game isn't possible they say, because of licensing shenanigans. :P

    Finished up 40 Winks with today's stream! Overall, it's perfectly fine this game, and it really does add on some ridiculous difficulty with the combat on Hard mode, so if you ever do play it yourself, probably opt for Medium for a smoother experience.

    I didn’t hesitate to get it. Eurocom made a whole bunch of solid games during the 5th and 6th generation of consoles and I miss them dearly. 40 Winks might not be an amazing game by any stretch, but it belongs in the collection of every gamer with any love for Eurocom.

    Although, I have a feeling finishing a game like Glover 2 would be a lot more daunting. 40 Winks from what I can understand was basically 100% finished and merely unreleased. Where the Glover 2 prototype is still a very fragmented, unstructured, debug mess full of unfinished assets. #N64 #Retro
