Notes

RemarksZXSR: Your Sinclair cover game (56 - Sep 1990)

RemarksThere is a patch (Additional material) to create a 256-colour edition for the ULAPlus.

Known ErrorsJulian Gollop recalls: "Unfortunately, it had a number of bugs, and some were slightly weird. The notorious one is the Turmoil spell. It randomly repositioned everything on the entire map, but I thought it wasn't very useful or good, so I left it out of the initial spell allocation system. But there was another spell called Magic Wood, which a wizard could use to randomly be given a spell, and there was a chance that'd get Turmoil."
