Looks like somebody back in 2006 asked the same question on an Acorn site:

Maybe contact the guy and ask about the scans, but looking at the following link it was printer over 23 Issues!!!

This is the game running on an Acorn:

Did anyone actually do that? I was typing my way through the INPUT issues in order - and on completing the first binder I was warned that Cliffhanger contained so many bugs (possibly due to printing erriors) that even Rentokil would run away screaming. Is there any truth in these rumours? I'd rather avoid a repeat performance of the Crisis At Christmas shenanigans...

Features my own programs, modified type-ins, RZXs, character sets & UDGs, and QL type-ins... so far!

These rumors are true...
There is a final issue with a memory dump of a running version and you need to compare what is wrong with previous code. :D
