Impressed it was on the dragon. Guy next door to my parents was friends with someone from the publishers, A&F - I was very young at the time, but I seem to recall he was the guy who wrote the Dragon conversion. Anyway - he personally brought me a complimentary copy :) -- SteveH

It was a league in a magazine (seem to remember it was Zzapp, -might- have been C&VG). I was top for a few weeks, then I remember seeing some of the scores coming out later - you would have needed to play for literally days to get those scores, and there wasn't a pause. Hmm. (not that every score which beat me was dubious, but some were....well, -I- questioned them anyway). Cheers, Ian |
