Cosmic = Jamie Woodhouse
I think I'm correct in saying that all of the games written by Jamie are his copyright and property, Team 17 and Psygnosis simply published. |

QWAK exists for almost 1.5 years for Symbian phones too... magc-productions.fr licensed amiga games and ported them DIRECTLY. there is cannon fodder, qwak, stormlord, captain dynamo, another world etc available for the s60 platform!

As much as possible it is, there's a few modifications, due to differences in Amiga and GBA hardware (smalled screen size etc.), also, there's no multiplayer (which isn't ideal I know). |

You'll need to check the site (www.qwak.co.uk) in a few days, there will be an order page up there soon. Are you on the mailing list? |

Well I'll definitely be purchasing a copy. £12 is more than reasonable as I loved the Amiga game.

If only games like this were the norm and modern games were the 'underground' stuff. Might convince me to start buying games again
