This is Origin software (I don't know if they originally wrote the thing, but they do package it) There is an orderform enclosed with the game, andthere they do mention that they are making a version for the Amiga. it lists for something like 69 or 70, so it is rather pricey, but it is well worth the money. If you enjoyed elite, this is the game for you. 'cept you can't do much about a missle up your tail pipe, it's either punch the afterburners, or try and blast it out of the sky, [there's always the "let it hit" approach, but we'll try and avoid that one] J-L P
