HOW YOU CAN FINALLY PLAY THE INFAMOUS KONIX MULTISYSTEM
One of the real prizes in this particular project is Attack Of The Mutant Camels ’89 – a version of the game intended for the ill-fated Konix Multisystem. That name will be familiar to British gamers of the era but it’s a very obscure piece of history, which Chris sees as an important illustration of just how regionally diverse the gaming market of the late-Eighties was. “From the American perspective, if you had heard of it at all, you had to be a huge nerd reading every issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine. Nobody was talking about it in the American magazines with any seriousness,” he recalls. “Going back and reading issues of The Games Machine and things like that, it was wall to wall coverage, they were very excited about the Konix Multisystem, because Japan had Nintendo and America had Atari, and Britain was going to have its own home-grown videogame system.
