I didn't know that it was released as a PD!

Peanutuk · 26 July 2004, 10:42

What is the page and issue number?

fiath · 26 July 2004, 11:37

Anyone have the issue with the retraction?

ant512 · 26 July 2004, 12:06

Looks like the game came from Virus Free PD - I ordered a few things from them. I was frequently surprised to receive cracked versions of commercial software; I remember getting a cracked demo of PC-Task in particular. Virus Free probably just took a pirated copy of the commercial game and, as it wasn't by an English publisher, added it to their archive in the hope that no-one would notice.

BippyM · 26 July 2004, 14:34

I can't remember, It was either issue 11, 12, 13 or 14 (I have a stck of mags 6 feet high, and I sort-of went through the entire lot and I don't know where I put the AP stuff!)

According to the Amiga Power index that I did for AIM, it's issue 12 and page 87.
