My Suntek SS-014 Theory

Post by Rom Hunter » Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:55 pm

I noticed that the Space Shuttle on the Quelle box artwork of Weltraumtunnel carries the Suntek brand:

So, my question now is: which Suntek cart carried this label?

Not one of the known to exist Suntek carts, that's for sure:

Walker (SS-032) carries this artwork:

And Farmyard Fun (SS-034) carries this artwork:

So, there's a good chance that the Weltraumtunnel picture is the original Suntek artwork of the still missing number SS-014.

To continue this theory: Weltraumtunnel is a hack of Imagic's Laser Gates which could easily fit into the Suntek range of games (for example: SS-019 is a hack of Imagic's Atlantis).

In short: it's very well possible that Suntek's missing SS-014 is a hack of Laser Gates and that it carries the same label as Weltraumtunnel.
