Credits:
"The original Harrier Attack idea was Robert [White]'s," remembers Mike. "He thought that because of the Falklands War, the Harrier had been in the news a lot, and it would be a good idea to do a game based on that. Ron did the first version of the game for the Oric and I worked on the Spectrum version. It was a big help to have the Oric game as a guide as there was no decision-making to do along the way. There were no graphics or code sharing - I looked at what Ron had done, then went and did my own thing."
Remarks:
Mike Richardson comments in an interview: "Although I am often credited with creating it, the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad versions that I produced were almost entirely based on the Oric version, written by Ron Jeffs."
