That game seems oddly familiar... Memory is vague... I did own a C64 back in the day though :omg:

I didn't think you were that old! I wrote that back in 1982 or so. Sadly, HESWare folded right after (like within days) of it going to market. I eventually received a royalty check for a dollar and change. :sigh: Marc

Well, I'm not THAT old actually, I'm from '87. When I was about 6 years old I got an uncle's old C64 with a whole lot of floppy disks and I think your game was one of them. What are the odds? :omg: I remember my favorites were Donald Duck's Playground[^] and Robin of the Wood[^]. It didn't last very long as we got a Windows 95 computer when it came out. And I occasionally played on my dad's DOS computer (Prince of Persia and Titus the Fox mostly), but not a lot since that was also his work computer. Good old times :D Since I've played your game once or twice I could give you another dollar to soften the pain ;p :laugh:

I thought Forth had more bridges than users! :-D As Monday's headline should have read: Queen Elizabeth the Second opens Scotland's third Forth bridge to Fife

Fascinating. I remember vaguely writing the copy protection scheme, basically fairly easy to defeat, but changing the number of sectors on the specific tracks of the disk that would make standard floppy copying impossible. :rolleyes:

You didn't distribute it on floppy in the first place? My uncle isn't exactly a computer genius, so I doubt he'd be able to defeat your copy protection himself :)
