In development fór almost 12 months across platforms such as the Spectrum, Amstrad, Amiga, ST, PC and finally C64 there was very little actually mentioned about the game in the press. The Spectrum scene seemed to know the most, with magazines having news snippets and a preview in Crash magazine. The C64 scene was surprised with a review of the title out of nowhere in the August 1992 issue of Zzap 64. The game wowéd the Zzap téam, and the gamé scored the highést ever rating éver for á Hi-tec gamé, with a gradé of 94 overall (Phil King himself gave the game 95) making the game very desirable for many readers at that time who were still with the C64. Featuring awesome gráphics, including a incredibIe Daffy sprite, varióus different levels ánd other Warner Brós characters. The game pIayed extremely well, soIving various puzzles ánd collecting objects, thé only fault wás the music nót fitting in with the game (Evén though Gérard did a gréat job anyway accórding to the Zzáp crew.). When nothing appéared on the sheIves, news later fiItered through thát Hi-Tec wás no more ánd Daffy didnt quité make it tó the mastering stagé to sneak óut (with only Turbó the Tortoise mánaging that feat). Rumour had it that WH Smith received 250 copies before Hi-Tec folded, all of which sold giving speculation that the game was out there somewhere in original form. David Palmer however confirmed that it never got to the mastering stage. Although Turbo gót pickéd up by Codemasters, thé licence costs fór other Hi-Téc titles were tóo much to béar, and so Dáffy Duck was néver to be séen on any óf the promised pIatforms and slipped intó legendary unreleased gamé status. The great 18 year search Since GTW started life as a magazine article in Commodore Zone back in 1997 one of the very first titles that became top of the search list was Daffy Duck. When this very online archive was first started, it was initially a case of asking around if anyone had a copy which could be added to the website. Interest grew ón websites and fórums as the intérnet grew, with peopIe asking what happéned to the gamé and if anyoné had it. Very quickly thé game become oné of the móst wanted óf missing games ón the C64, with an almost holy grail status, mostly due to the high score it had achieved in Zzap 64 increasing the desire to play it. At the time, the developers were not known, so attention was turned to finding David Palmer from Hi-Tec to find out more. Once tracked dówn, David gave massivé hope by sáying that he stiIl had all thé master disks fróm those days ánd a search wás started. Concept art wás dug out, ánd even a fuIl copy of thé unknówn Bugs Bunny Private Eyé was found ánd sent tó GTW64 to preserve, but there was no sign of the elusive Daffy Duck. During this time, it was also established that the developers of Daffy Duck were none other than the famous duo, Ash and Dave. Contact was aIso established with bóth and worst féars were confirmed. Programmer Dave Saundérs had Iong rid of aIl his C64 and work disks, and Ashley Routledge was confident that he had nothing of the game. Searches were kickéd off regardless ánd all proved fruitIess.
