The truth now that I know it clearly dims all these rumors of the
copy protection scheme.  Not only will BLAZEMONGER III run on a
standard A500 (It will, however require 1 Meg of Memory) it also
runs faster than it could a supercomputer peripheral.  Let me explain.

The disk supplied is a standard 3.5" format AmigaDos disk.  You can copy
this to your hearts content and distribute it everywhere and the program
will run.  It will run soooooo slooowwww that it takes approx 3 hours to
to load the title screen (and that's the fast part!)  Only the original
disk will play at BLAZEMONGER III speed.  It seems that embedded in the
disk is a magnetic field that when spun creates a localized time distortion.
This causes the disk to be set back by one day so any 'future' disk access
actually occured yesterday!!! talk about fast!!  This game actually
knows what you are doing before you!!  What a wonderful world we
live in.
