Re: The best unplayable demo on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
I went with Trantor as it was at least a cinematic experience.

Re: Quazatron - how many cities?
Wow, I never realised that it had 8 citadels!

It's not that - you fell into the trap.
It has the same perspective and similar style graphics that I think have been ported (badly) from CPC mode 0 graphics.

Wow, Lee hasn't posted on WOS since September 2023, and hasn't logged in since January 6th this year!
He seems to be more active on the Facebook group than the forum.

Re: Guess the screen$
That narrows it down to the even more obscure than Tuareg (at least I've never heard of it before) Murray Mouse Supercop . :D I figured it couldn't be that obscure as it had two OK mag reviews, was released by CodeMasters, had two user reviews, and someone recently modded it with 128K music ported ...
