    Attack Of The Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens From Mars: general facts

    Whatever happened to Attack of the Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens 
    from Mars?  This is still being debated, and opinion is divided on 
    whether Attack of Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens from Mars WAS 
    in the end released by Software Projects.  Some people think it did 
    star Zippo the dog, but it wasn't the game Matthew Smith wrote.  It 
    was released under the name Star Paws as a budget title.  The game is 
    very different to Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy, and featured a lot of 
    puzzles.
    
    However, Star Paws started out as a C=64 game, and was converted to the
    Spectrum. It announces the following in it's demo mode:
    
    The C=64 author was John Darnell, it was converted by Ste Cork,
    and the graphics were by Peter Gough.  The 128 music was by Tim
    Follin.  Software Creations are the name used by Ste & Peter.
    
    Sad to say, but no mention of a Matthew "God" Smith.  But that doesn't 
    mean it wasn't the intended game.  The debate continues...
    
    The full title of this game is "Attack of the Mutant Zombie Flesh-Eating 
    Chickens from Mars starring Zippo the Dog" but is often abreviated 
    to AOTMZFECFM.
