This title wasn´t commercially released, it should be but wasn´t .... it was Shareware and shortly after that it became Freeware, you can find it on Aminet nowadays

I think the confusion lies in the fact that CU Amiga reviewed it as a commercial game in its April '98 issue IIRC. Seems you are right, though, about it being originally released as shareware. I'll give the entry a once over on the weekend if no-one gets to it before me.

Amiga Format also reviewed the game as if it was a commercial release: Issue 108, March 1998. Skunkworks simply listed as 'publisher'.

Perhaps AF were just a little overexcited as the issue was a 'gaming special', with seven whole games in for review.

Typical sloppy AF review, btw. Would never make the grade for APoV.
