Subject: Re: Yet Another Where Is This Game From?

Hi Sam,

I remember playing this game for hours and hours against my brother when I 
was younger!

I seem to remember that it was typed in from a magazine, but it may have 
been one of those we downloaded from Teletext.  While I'm sure I have a 
copy around somewhere, I don't currently have a BBC setup to be able to 
check.

I know that this isn't that helpful, but I'll try to get a machine set up 
soon and will let you know if I find any further information.

Regards
Andy

  Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
