If you grew up with a Commodore 64 or ZX Spectrum then you will have almost certainly played a game published by Hewson. Despite being one the smaller software companies they managed a string of hits including Exolon, Cybernoid, Zynaps, Uridium, and Stormlord.
Hewson shut down in 1991 but in 2013 Hewson Consultants Ltd was re-formed to launch book written by founder, Andrew Hewson, about his experiences in the industry. It has now been revealed the company has won a grant to prototype a new game.
ANNOUNCEMENT: WE ARE GOING TO PRODUCE GAME AGAIN! https://t.co/zOLFnX1fTX

What the game(s) will be is anyone guess, but they do have back catalogue of gold titles to plunder including the controversial 16-bit version of Deliverance: Stormlord II which included saucy naked fairies and actual boobs!

Is that naked woman shooting fire out her derrière? If so, do I want to know why?

Would it not be more logical to assume it was coming out of the dragon’s mouth???

Yes but my brain never went there for whatever reason. The flames do look a bit more streamlined from my point of view. And seem to be fanning out at the dragon.
I need to know this!

Haha – I think that’s purely a timing thing. I believe that the Dragon shoots fireballs, so what you see there is the ball shooting towards the ground, leaving a trail behind (which would have been quite advanced at that time I suppose!).
However, taking the picture as it is, it does appear that the scantily clad lady has been at the Fairy Vindaloo & it hasn’t quite agreed with her! :D
Still, bewbs.
