Well I have the words 'Electric Fusion' handwritten on the instruction sheet in my copy of the game. I also wrote 'k.t.4.m.e.' and 'oakwood' and '888 5131' and 'phoenix' as clues for the adventure game, but this was all done 30 years ago and I haven't checked them recently to see if they worked or n...

I've always wondered what happens at the end of this game. I was never quite good enough to go round all the rooms for a second time as the baddies get ridiculously fast about half way round. What happens when you get to the last room second time around and the massive Shamus appears on screen?

Are you guys talking about the game Witch Way by Commercial Data Systems Ltd? If so, I won a sealed tape copy of the game along with another sealed game tape on eBay 4 weeks ago for £3.39.

Just to say it's Nightcrawler for me, as all the other versions were too slow. Although having said that, Nightcrawler was insanely fast but at least you could clear all the mushrooms in a very short space of time. I've got the Your Computer game Millipods typed in and running correctly by the way. ...

Yes - I guess you could find the right memory location for the 8k version if you looked long enough, but I never did. For the 3k version you Verify past the first loader program. Then TYPE Load [note - don't use run stop/restore]. Once the main program has loaded simply type Poke 1512,255 : SYS1175....
