Quoted from applejuice:IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Please read if you are interested in this 7 year project:
Some people have got in touch to tell me there may be confusion over whether this project is an officially licenced product from the Williams rights holders. I want to make clear that this project is NOT YET officially licenced. It is an original product.
In the aid of transparency and to avoid any confusion please see the following points regarding the project:
1) My hardware board is 100% original using my own electronic designs & firmware.
2) The game code is 100% original and uses 0% of the original Williams 6809 code base ('rom code')
3) There is no way with my hardware to run the original Williams Whirlwind game or any other original 'rom code'
4) The game is a DMD game not an alphanumeric game and uses newly created graphic frames, all redrawn and coloured by myself. No raw WMS DMD assets are in use
5) The speaker panel plastic artwork created to use with our dmd panels contains no williams logos and only standard wording. All art is original.
As the system runs on owners own Whirlwind games there was (previously) a re-creation of the whirlwind & williams logo present in dmd form for 1 slide each on the attract mode, which have since been REMOVED, in compliance with information received and as a show of good faith. I have created a new original logo and game name for this product instead , 'Storm Blasters' which i will share below. (UKCS Registration Number: 284745765)
