However there are huge differences between the version online, and the version in the book. So therefore I decided to change the online listing to match the book listing, but quickly found out that the book listing is a huge mess, and just not good in any way. My guess is that the version online is a modified version still with a few text bugs, but a whole lot better that the listing in the book. On the SOFTEK start up screen, the book listing only say TM below SOFTEK, which I would think is TRADEMARK. But the online version has two more sets of letters added below TM, which are MR and LR. I suppose that are the initials of the modifiers, probably siblings with a surname starting with R.
I'm very sure this has never been released on tape, simply because it is to bad/simple to be able to sell, and due to the text bugs. It should be noted that its a:
Modified version of a Type-In game from book mentioned above.
Yeah, that's how I work. When I saw that game, and noticed that there were text bugs in the game, I immediately thought this can only be a Type-In, as no one would release it like that, and the detective work began
