It'll be interesting to see what Americans think of the game (I suspect you will have already seen it on the C64 anyway). It's been completely revamped from the 8-bit versions with much fancier presentation and options and in glorious solid 3-D colour. It's a shame it's not a patch on the 8-bit BBC Micro version for sheer playability though... It also has the *INFURIATING* page/paragraph/word protection system, which is ridiculous, because the manual is the same across all machine versions (I use my BBC micro Elite manual to find the word and it works !).

Don't worry. Being the easiest copy protection to break, you'll probably have a completely unprotected version before too long. -- *** Sean Casey sean@ms.uky.edu, sean@ukma.bitnet *** Quid, me vexari? {backbone|rutgers|uunet}!ukma!sean *** ``I'm not the forumnet lord; I'm the forumnet janitor.'' - me
