Right platform!


Wrong game.


AFAIK, the game was only ever released for the SAM.

No, but it has something in common with the Amstrad.

(Can someone please replace the :P smiley? It's so bad I'm ashamed to use it.)

:) Anyway, with Merman's permission and because you were right about the screenshot, I'll post up the next one as I'm going to be offline for a bit. Warning: this one's a bit obscure, but only because the platform isn't one you often see screenshots for. Two screenshots for you... http://i201.photob...

No. The emperor knows.
