How the hell would you know what to do. I bet this person stored each level and replayed on WinUAE with save states to eventually unearth the hidden / changing sprites lol.

At nearly £20 I would say most people got their monies worth ... still uncomplete lol.

Are we talking about Chris Sorrell or Steve Bak? They were both responsible for James Pond and Yolanda. Plus, Yolanda was the 16-bit reworking of Hercules solely by Steve Bak. You'd have to flip a coin to decide who was most responsible for the way Yolanda turned out.

John Carmack was already the John Carmack of the ST era, its not like the dude was not born yet or not programming back then. Show some respect for the living.

What I mean is, Steve Bak did for the ST (solve smooth scrolling) what Carmack did for the PC.

And believe me, I have respect for John Carmack, I consider him my programming idol.
