Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version

Well, sadly we didn’t quite make the Christmas release, thanks to a couple of annoying bugs that cropped up through testing. Those bugs have now been fixed, though, and we’ve added a couple of extra bits of polish and we’re just tidying up a couple of wee things so we can get release within the next...

Re: Little bugs in the database 5

Simon Butler had nothing to do with Dan Dare II. He was involved with the 3rd game, just not the 2nd.
