Remarks
     Neil recalls: "The game was originally called 'Dragonslayer' but we hadn't realised there was a film of the same name released a couple of years earlier, complete coincidence but it forced us to change the title at the last minute. I never like the Mighty Magus title, always made me think of maggots :-("
