The programmers were forced to cut back on some features to fit it into the 520ST, including a 4 player option (2 players using the keyboard) and the thief. There was an article on the game in a copy of "Computer & Video Games" (a U.K. magazine) and there was a suggestion of an "executive" version for 1040's which re-instates these features and adds music in the treasure rooms and more sampled sound effects. It is produced by: U.S. Gold Ltd. Units 2/3 Holford Way Holford Birmingham B6 7AX England and costs 24.99 Pounds (about $40). Other arcade conversions, either available now or scheduled before September include Xevious, Road Runner, Metrocross, Solomons Key and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (looks very good from the pre-release info). I've no idea when, or if, these will be distributed in the U.S. It is rumoured that Activision (UK) is converting Quartet (already out on the C64) and Rampage for the ST, that Firebird may be attempting a conversion of Elite (will "solid" graphics - I can't wait), and that Beyond may finally release their (reportedly) superb version of Star Trek "real soon now". Finally, if there is any U.K. "netter" on JANET who has managed to access PROG-A16 or ATARINET could you tell me the secrets of your success ? Thanks. Keith Wolstenholme JANET:
