Gordon recalls: "Search for Sharla was about well into development on the Spectrum and Amstrad when it was pulled but by no means near completion. I'd estimate around 35% complete with all tech running to create a Lords of Midnight Clone. I was working as a 3rd party contractor for Esprit software and as I understood it, the project was simply dropped by Thalamus mid-development. I have heard many stories about what really happened and why but none of it, afaik, is confirmed."
