It's on the coverdisk of Amiga Computing 43.
You can download it in ADZ (zipped ADF format) here |

I'm not sure what you mean by 'open the file'.
.ADZ files are GZipped .ADF files. Rename the file from filename.adz to filename.adf.gz and extract the .adf file using WinRAR. Then use WinUAE to extract files from the .ADF image. WinUAE can mount .ADZ files directly, but I'm not sure if you still need the GZip executable program in the same directory. |

Okay, let's start from scratch then
You need WinUAE an Amiga emulator to run the game. You'll also need something called kickstarts (or at least one kickstart) for it. Have a look here : http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=eab..._ks_wb_faqitem Once you have that, just put the disk image Anakirob linked to in the first 'virtual' floppy drive and run it with an A500 quickstart. |

Thank you for your help. I don't think i'm doing very well as i don't understand what a kick start is... Perhaps could contact the original author and they could help? Is it possible to play on a pc? Thanks for your help and patience - i really wanted to play this game again!

An .adz normally contains ONE adf (since '.adz' is short for '.adf.gz', but a lha can contain hundreds of files! Plus, the compression algorithm of the one has nothing to do with the other's one. Leave it as zutalors.ADZ and don't fiddle with the file name. It's fine that way |

Thank you CyberDruid. I really appreciate your help. I stumbled across this forum but am not at all techie and am a bit scared of downloading .exe files and other things. I just remember loving this game and would love to see it again.
Oh and I'm a she by the way! Last edited by Zutfan; 16 June 2010 at 01:40. Reason: Gender confusion! |
