Here's a fun fact, the Amiga version of this game can't even be completed. They ran out of time to finish the game, so they made an impossible jump in one of the final levels so that there's no way you can ever beat that stage. Also, to be fair, while Ocean has made a crapton of shit, they actually did have a few good games. If you want a real British equivalent of LJN, look up Tiertex.
