  Can everyone let me know how much ram they have so i can continue writing.I
  estimate that the game could be on 2 or 3 disks  but well have to wait and
  see.
 
 
  Thanks

I have a SAM with 512K! If planned over more disks please make it so, that it 
can be runned from Atom Harddisk without hacking.

For those who don't know what he's talking about, there's a lot of threads
on comp.sys.sinclair about this: Jester Interactive are basing their game
and their marketing on the unlicensed IP of Matthew Smith, even using his
very name, and yet the first he knew about it was the press release.

When someone asked the CEO of Jester Interactive whether Matthew Smith
would receive royalties, or be employed as a consultant for the game, the
CEO apparently replied: F[] off D[]head.

Oh, and if you didn't need another reason to not buy the game, another
contact at Jester says the new games are highly likely to be in 3D. So much
the days when gameplay was king and faithful to the original games.

Personally I wouldn't touch the games or the company with a twenty foot
bargepole.

Eugene's layer - now that was renamed either the Sugar Factory - or Alan's
Lair? Cant remember which? Anyway - we couldnt locate the graphic in the
code at the time - so used one of the Amebotron graphics instead - and as
that looked like a hairy blob (aka Alan Sugar) hence the new name

I never until today realised how much Eugene looks like Dogbert.

The other possible name was going to be Bob's lair as well ;)

Even better - you could just about claim that Bob's a liar was a typo...
