It was written during the summer of 1986. I was living at my Grandmother's house at the time. I had a small room upstairs at the back of the house. I can remember the distant sound of the factories through the open window combined with the soft rustle of the leaves of the trees that lined both sides of the "backings" outside. Many hours were spent attending to the graphics for the game - of course in those days on a small black and white portable TV. Fond memories...
Great find, and a great game this, classic oldschool, and a very timely release regarding the coronation! I just completed it with 240/250. Thanks for the game. Now to get back to it and see where those 10 points went...
Must be the number of turns. I just did a quick run through and scored the full 250. I love that the game starts with the classic "GET LAMP" by the way...
:)
Thanks
Thanks to all that have downloaded so far - I hope it takes you back to the old days :)
@Frankster - we've been playing this over on the SC forum. Any chance you could give us a bit of background on this - from original coding, attempted release (?), to recovery 37 years later?
