It was the demo that made me buy it back then. Got rid of it when I
sold my A3010 and got my RISC PC. It didn't work too well on that.
Now I got an old A410/1 I want it again to play it! The music on it
was alsobjust so catchy.

If APDL manage to find the source code for it amongst the stuff they
got from Clares, I think it would make a wonderful game to be 32bitted
and updated to make use of modern Hi Res monitors.

Regards

Paul
