I think it was part of Datel. Definitely unlicensed, anyway. seems to have been a few different developers working on these things, it wouldn't surprise me if they were actually homebrew devs that Datel paid to make games for them.[/quote]Yep, they're part of Datel. 64scener posted about them on NESWorld.

On that note, their Space Invaders clone "Space Invasion" uses a cover of the music from "Delta" for C64. Wonder if they actually hired Rob Hubbard or it was just someone else covering his music?
Edit: Could very well be. Thalamus, the developers of Delta, has taken credit for Space Invasion... so at least they used the music with permission, if nothing else. :)
Edit #2: Sound programming for Space Invasion was done by Jon Wells-- but he does give full credit to Rob Hubbard in the ROM. :)
So, would the games from Rocket Games be classified as pirated or unlicensed then? :unsure: I'm asking this because I would like to do videos on them but it'd be a bit odd putting them under Pirate Showcase if they're not really pirate games.
