Topo Soft only changed the tune with another composed by Gominolas and removed the instructions.

According to Popular Computing Weekly, Simon Nicol is the author of the original C64 version and the graphics are by "Malcolm Smith" who must be Malcolm J Smith who is credited on lots of other Martech games.
Sorry, but, what does "Reviewed" mean? Is it going to change? I've seen today some FB vids where it was said that Anteater was programmed by "Antonio González", not me!!!Bubu wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 1:07 am Hi!!
Don't know if this is the right place to say this but, in Anteater the "creators" and "author/contributor" are the same than the "Original publisher", that is: Bubu (me ).
Please correct it as people are asking me who is that "Antonio", hahahhahhAHA
Thanks in advance!

On his website here (page 5), there's confirmation that he did the cartoons for the Bored of the Rings adverts, which he also credits to Ian Ellery:8BitAG wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 5:10 pm He's not consistent. https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-grenv ... bdomain=uk

An later, and presumably more accurate release date of January 6th 1988 is given in Popular Computing Weekly 17th December 1987.StooB wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 3:01 pm Jet Bike Simulator (1988)

In this case the Your Sinclair report would have been written back in October/November, while the PCW column can be dated to 10th December exactly, which is after the YS-given release date of the 7th.PeterJ wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 2:07 pm @StooB,
You may think I'm trying to be difficult, which I'm most definitely not, but with this sort of stuff how can we be sure which date is accurate. We know that magazines are sometimes not the most reliable.
I suppose as long as we keep these threads we can justify or explain any changes.
I did once ask John about this, and he was adamant that he published as Zenobi from the off; despite what might have been recorded in magazines at the time.
Yes, 84/85 he says in this interview.
