Group Description
Platform games starring Miner Willy.
Mega-tree
Mega-tree was the third in the
Miner Willy series and was developed in 1984 by
Matthew Smith,
Marc Dawson and
Stuart Fotheringham. According to Fotheringham, Software Project's management expected them to produce a quick sequel while the development team took their time to discuss gameplay and do research because they wanted to produce "the best and most innovative game of the time". In the end, they had only a single mock-up screen when the project progress was reviewed after three months, the game was cancelled and Fotheringham (probably Dawson, too) was fired.
Miner Willy Meets The Taxman is often cited as aka for
Mega-tree, but according to
Games That Weren't, it was an entirely different project which never left the planning stages.
