I've played demos of both the Sam and Speccy versions of Astroball, though I never actually bought either. I liked the game, but I was mightily disappointed when someone said that the Space Invaders but wasn't in the Sam version... I did buy Dyzonium, though, and consider it to be one of the Sam's

I think it probably depends on your producer/publisher and if you're doing an official license or film-licensed game. All of Balor's console games have been either one or the other. I know when Balor did 'Batman Forever' he and Probe didn't have as much input as Warner Bros..!!! Same with

Re: The Defenders game disk: Does the disk's version of Dyzonium have the cheat mode in it? It's an excellent game, but too hard for the likes of me. I bought a pre-release version of Dyzonium which doesn't seem to have the cheat routine, and I have failed miserably to get further than level 3.
