All the games released by
Actual Screenshots are reasonably rare. The only one I don't have in my collection is
Sirius 7. Given that the game only received
one review (24% overall in Amiga Format) and all three original versions possessed by LSD for their crack were bugged with corrupted gfx on level 4, I have to wonder if the game actually received a retail release at all. It wasn't uncommon for crackers to get their hands on pre-release copies (sometimes from "contacts" at mags who had original disks sent to them for review). Moreover, the game was supposedly released at the end of 1990 when CRL (parent company of
Actual Screenshots) went out of business. It would have been the last game published by
Actual Screenshots/CRL before going out of business.
As I said, I've never ever seen so much as an original disk (scan) of
Sirius 7 and I know that it isn't/wasn't in the possession of the big Amiga game collectors I know. Peter Olafson (ex-Amiga games reviewer), the biggest Ami games collector I know of, sold off his massive collection of 4000+ Amiga games a few years ago on Ebay and
Sirius 7 wasn't amongst them. Still, stranger things have been known to happen - like an original boxed copy of
Monkey Business (the first ever Amiga game published) popping up on Ebay last year - so there is still hope for an original copy of
Sirius 7 materialising out of the ether!
