Heh - I'm sure the graphics weren't that bad.. :lol:

...And what's the issue with Ms Russell's ankle..? Or is it the fact that she's wearing high heels in a jungle?

I got in a lot of trouble with some kids' mum for selling them this game back in the day, I can still feel the white heat of embarrassment of being shouted at in public. :oops:

Pretty tame by today's standards though!

My local newsagent usually had Your Sinclair on the middle shelf along with all the other Spectrum mags, but this Vixen issue had been moved up a shelf, not top but the next one down. Strutting to the counter, flipping through it to make sure the poster was in there, I thought(hoping) it was to be huge A2 in size, but turned out to be a double pager.

Heh - if it got returned did you check the box to make sure the poster hadn't been removed...? ;)

S'funny, I was just thinking about this recently. Though "Quality Graphics" is maybe a bit of a stretch, unless prefaced with "Occasional".

I'd replace it with "Cover Art". And "Posters". Especially "Game Over Posters". 8-)

Heh - though I'm surprised you didn't change it to say "No problem, Fred.." ;)

* or 'no problem, Zythum', though that'd just be ridiculous in all honesty

This game's as difficult as running on stilettos through the jungle. You've been warned, Bro.
