the same author for the amiga...

it's a damn great game but I can't remember what it's called!

yes! the name of the game is

  T A R G I S       <---- that's the name of it! that's the game.

   I do wonder if there is a Lode Runner (or the clone thereof, if it exists).
I used to play it on C-64 (cartridge format, only 17 built-in levels).
I've seen the Lode Runner on Mac and IBM PC, and it has ALL those "missing"
levels that I want to play --- *sigh*  Thanx for any lead...

I'm certain that I saw a copy of the Boulderdash construction set int the
five pound bucket at my local store this weekend i.e. Sat 23rd Jun

I'll check it out, if it's still there, I'll buy it if it's that good !

If it is possible to ship it out to you, then I will if you can't get it
int the US.

Cheers
