Tronix

[ROBOTNIK666]

I just saw an episode of Starcade in which some of the prizes were video game cartridges from Tronix. How long did the company exist, and what games did they make? Were they any good?

All I remember about Tronix is that they did budget C-64 titles like "The Last V-8". IIRC their cases were unusual too, somewhat similar to today's DVD cases. Hopefully I'm thinking of the right Tronix; I don't remember them doing any cartridges.

Greetings I believe Mastertronic (at least here in the States) did The Last V-8 and had those slender cases. I really liked the hard slender Mastertronic case personally.

Tronix made games like Kid Grid and Juice

That is not to say that Tronix did not have anything to do with Mastertronic because there used to be some newsletter with the collaboration.

You're right...I had the feeling I was getting mixed up. :monkey:
