Does anyone have a copy of the old pre-release version of MindWalker? It was public domain a few years back and had a few features that the release version doesn't. I didn't have an Amiga of my own then so I never got it. joe

I got rid of it as soon as I got the real MindWalker because the features it had that the release version did not were probably removed because they were damn near impossible to use, or meaningless. For example, there was a "large-scale" view of a pretty pattern with an arrow pointing to where you "were". Trouble was, it didn't mean anything, and gave you no information useful in the game. Just a pretty hack. Also, it was missing the entire "Uncle Sigmund" sequence, and the endgame, and graduated difficulty levels, etc. I'd say forget about it. -- Michael J.
