Skools Out Creator Interviewed, Game Released
An anonymous reader writes "The full download version of PC indie game Skools Out is now available from the official Mucky Baby site - there's also a bunch of new screenshots and a playable demo available." There's an interview with Mucky Baby's Simon Keating, himself an ex-Mucky Foot developer, over at DIY Games, describing the "PC action adventure title", influenced by classic Spectrum title Skool Daze. The article notes this as another example of "the world of independent game development... becoming populated with more and more developers that have left the business of big name game development and struck out on their own."
Has been remade before as Klass of 99 - which is very close to the original.
Funnily enough, the only thing educational I remember about the original was it was set in an educational institution. It was inspired by those early to mid twentieth century British schoolboy tales of japes and pranks.
