Subject: Re: BBC - Acorn User ( yellow page) game question.

Hi Victor,

I remember that AU issue myself, but can't remember the name of the game
and I never played it.  I'm pretty sure it is not yet in the Acorn User
part of the TBL! archive (http://www.nvg.org/bbc/sw/AcornUser).

I've sent a copy of this reply to the BBC micro mailing list (see
http://www.nvg.org/bbc/netresource.shtml#mail for info on how to join),
so maybe somebody there can help?  (Mark de Weger, maybe?)

cheers,

robert
