Description

Chris White painstakingly recreated this game by watching the Amiga version. There was no digital transfer of code or data. Only when he was finished did he approach Domark about publishing it. despite the unsupported status of the SAM Coupé and tiny user base at the time, Domark published the game because their was no real work left to do in creating it.
Tags:
This game had a very unusual path to market and would never had been authorized if done the traditional way (it is indie). This game is not a direct product of roto-scoping in the sense that it was merely copied graphics that were a product of such. The rest of the tags are common to other versions of this game and are discussed in the Apple ][ version info page.
