Ultimate Play The Game · Tim Stamper
At the end of Underwurlde, the player can escape through three different exits. Each exit then names a different game in which Sabreman is to take part. The first two are Knight Lore and Pentagram. The third is Mire Mare. The TZX archive contains a picture of the Mire Mare exit.#Stuart Campbell in his article The Games Time Forgot, in the last ever issue of Your Sinclair, comments that the game probably never got past the stage of being a title and this seems to be the general opinion of the game's status.#However, the Ultimate Appreciation website has an interview with an ex-employee of Ultimate who confirms that the game did in fact exist. He says "code for this [Mire Mare] exists" and "It does exist. I have seen it. I have played it".#The story apparently is that Mire Mare was coded before . Chris and Tim Stamper were planning to sell out to and wanted to keep Mire Mare back as a Grand Finale so Gunfright was released first.#However, the sell out was completed more quickly than first thought. wanted to put Ultimate's back catalogue of games out on their budget label, and approached Chris and Tim Stamper asking where Mire Mare was as they wanted to put it out on the label as well. The Stampers weren't impressed with and told them Mire Mare wasn't ready ("although basically it was").
