Magnum Force - An unreleased scramble-like clone makes an appearance on the C64

Glorious news Commodore 64 owners, as looking through both Twitter and then a later heads up by a good friend of ours, we've been told that an unreleased C64 game has seen the light of day called 'Magnum Force'. Yes indeed thanks to Gamesthatweren't announcing it earlier today, they have said that this game was not only recently discovered lurking on a Codemasters 30 games CD pack, but according to them it was never properly released as a stand-alone Codemasters title...Perhaps as they also said "We assume that not many people actually purchased the package, and as a result – the game has remained on CD, unpreserved".

While a full write up about the game and the recovery can be found linked below, here's the latest in brief. "Yet another long lost Codemasters game, but one which is in fact been under our noses all along! Magnum Force was yet another title from the great Gavin Raeburn and is a sort of sooped up Scramble clone with end of level baddies and power ups. It’s quite a fun little budget title, and with the bonus of some previously unheard tunes by Gavin with digitized sounds".
