ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

From issues 9 / 10 of Home Computer dated January / February 1985 respectively.
While the original listing in issue 9 was for two human players only, the next publication added lines to the program allowing you to play against the computer. The version available for download is a crash-free revision. As this title will let you save games, it is provided in disk format.
Many thanks to Filippo Santellocco for typing in / fixing this program!
