Spot on. Well done Sir.

Re: Thanks Guys
Bloody hell, between this and Batman you were a gaming God.
I remember one room (fairly early on) where there was an opponent - one of those little pepperpot thingies - sent to auto-seek you as soon as you entered. The trick was that if you moved to a certain location you could jam it against the scenery. This was a very early introduction to metagaming for this once-teenager.
Thank you for many shamelessly squandered hours on the Speccy.

One of the best games on the Speccy ever.
I remember one of the reviewers (Marcus, IIRC) for Your Sinclair being stuck on the Safari world shortly after its release. I remember my joy at being able to work out this puzzle for myself, and wrote down the instructions for the puzzle. I remember salivating at the idea of getting my name in YS, for my Warholesque fifteem minutes.
Anyway, it seemed that month pretty much everyone other than Marcus worked it out that same month and I didn't even get a mention.
Still bitter, hence the icon.

Thankfully, there's a mod to disable this. Didn't know this when I went through BG2 though, to my loss.
Was quite amused by the nods to BG1/11 in Mass Effect 1/2 -the space hamster (with genuine Boo squeak) in the first one, and Tali's shouts in ME2: "Faster than Chiktika Fast-paws" and "Go for the Optics".
Also, el reg: may I humbly suggest that "Your email address is never published" be replaced with "Your email address is almost never published"?

Off-topic I know, but kudos for the quote.
'Fess up though - do you know it from Doctor and the Crippens, or Motel Hell?
