This game was submitted to Ocean Software for possible release. I remember loading it up before it came out on the Firebird label as I'd found the tape lying around. Obviously, Ocean turned it down. And "Dang my Poons" was something Simon Butler used to say in the dungeons at Ocean!

It's got the foundation of SOMETHING, it just needs more structure in the ruleset for it to be something that isn't just completely random dice rolls. Maybe even the ability to lock dice for a later turn, or an ability to govern where enemies move... Literally ANYTHING else.

I really enjoyed working with John Gibson on the game Colony Wars for PS1 in the 90s, at Psygnosis, in Liverpool. He also made Zzoom and Stonkers, games I thought were really cool, back when he had worked at Imagine. He never mentioned this game though :) Maybe you could review Stonkers, or Zzoom, you probably played them as a kid as I think they were the bundle in games with the Spectrum, at one period, maybe bundled with the Soectrum+

@@steve16384 I was thinking about that as well. It must have been one of the first if not the very first right? I think there was a bug as well wasn't there, something to do with crossing the bridge in a particular way could cause it to crash.

I worked with John Gibson; he was a top bloke. Unfortunately no longer with us :( I don't remember this game on the Speccy but I DO know that Gibbo remade it for Android following his retirement. I have a copy of the .apk that he asked me to test for him. It's old though so it no longer works due to 'security' issues. I enjoyed the remake but I don't think he ever released it.

Well, Scrabble, Chess and Backgammon made it on to the Spectrum. All board games and one of them used Dice. I think they even managed a version of Monopoly on the Spectrum. However, turn-based strategy games are really the descendants of board games on computers. There was even a version of Battleships that was quite fun on the Speccy. Mind you, creating a board game that grabs attention and plays well is really quite hard. Then transferring that to a computer and making it interesting, and fun is another challenge. Trivial Pursuit on the Spectrum didn't really work.

They also use magic to cheat the colour limits! Im gonna keep asking for these 😂❤ Noentiendo isnt well known in the homebrew scene but his games are absolutely fantastic.

I used to play this game for hours on end 😂 I would do the smallest map with as many of the enemies on it and that would make it at least bearable to play .. I didn't have much to play at the time. It was a toss up between this and another game called realm.. where you was a toaster doing something.. dunno what. Never worked it out, even now as an adult I have no idea what that game is about.

It seems quite unethical actually, to produce software (of any kind) for sale that's completely disinteresting. Not that I'm unhappy that independent people actually produced their own titles - that was an AMAZING aspect of software distribution in this country. But when the games/utilities/business software (maybe you could review some of that some time? It's a really untapped source of entertainment I believe) is so dull and uneventful, why go out of your way to even put it out there??? Where's the enthusiasm??
