    Default [Pico] Professor Pico & the Paintbox Puzzle?

    This 'game' is mentioned on the box of UK Pico systems, and it's also in a list of games on the inside cover of other Storybooks, but doesn't appear in the online listings.

    The only result Google returns is this page: http://www.humansoft.com/pico.html , which isn't a great deal of help, but thanks to the magic of the Wayback Machine can be re-constructed to this: http://web.archive.org/web/200311031....com/pico.html

    Anyone know anything about it? Possibly a US game that was retitled for the UK?
    I don't know if it was actually released or not since I've not seen one, but it probably deserves a Rumor Mill entry at least.

    (man, I really think I should have better things to do with my time than trawl the internet for information on unreleased Pico games )

    Curious. I'll add it to the Rumor Mill in the next update. Hopefully someone will step forth with evidence that the game exists - with cart artwork and screen shots, I'd hope there's at least a prototype out there.

    Well, it took a while, but this can be moved out of the Rumor Mill now, since it's finally popped up on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=6010667069

    Shame the carts in that auction are all loose, there's only one PAL Pico game I'm aware of that's not included (Huckle and Lowly's Busiest Day Ever).

    (btw Joe, I'll include a listing of PAL Pico games for the database the next time I send my other files in... )

    Finally got hold of a copy of this one - it doesn't seem to be a re-titled US release, and is instead a PAL-exclusive. Woo!
