@chamaeleon thanks for sharing. It's getting very expensive getting most things for the Acorn A series of machines unfortunately. RISC OS was so good though for the time.

@davetansley

Yep the graphics and music seemed very faithful to the Amiga version on the Acorn, great title. Loved playing it my A3010.

@adduc aww the Pebble was amazing. I owned the original and what would be deemed as the colour version and loved them to bits. Such a shame it ended the way it did and the larger screen colour version never released.
