>Great review! but I would like to know:

While I didn't write the review, I have TKGS and can answer one (1) of your
questions:

>1> What's the copy protection? That is, ... is it installable on a hard drive?
>can you make backup copies?

It has a disk-based copy protection like most (?) Psygnosis games.  Anyway,
this implies it won't run off hard drive and you can't make back-up
copies.  Worse, the game expects you to let it write high scores to the
Master Disk 2.  I decided to let it do it...you only live once.  But, I don't
like using the originals and writing to them.  If anyone knows how to back
the disks up, tell us!  I tried NIB 1.0 and NIB crashed in mid-copy (?!).

>2> Will it work on 68010, 68020, and 68030's?

Don't know... probably?

>3> Will it work under AmigaDos 2.0?

Wasn't this game supposed to be one of about 3 recent Psygnosis games that
are 3000 (and 2.0) compatible?  But then someone posted here that the game
is *not* 3000 compatible (at least it crashes on some 3000s).

>Thanks for a great review.

Yes, that was a well-written review.
