I didn't say it was 1994. If you really "desperately" wanted a copy of
the game then 14.90 isn't an unreasonable price (given that the
game comes on CD with a number of others).

You asked if anyone had a copy. APDL, who now sell it, replied
saying that it was available. Perhaps if you had specified that
although you wanted it desperately, but weren't prepared
to pay for it then APDL wouldn't have responded. I am not
sure what you do for a living, but I know what APDL do, they
sell RISC OS software. That's what puts food on the table.

Note that I have corrected your top posting for you.
