The computer versions reached the shops under Ocean in spring 1990, months after their reviews. Zzap!64 wrote in May 1990 that Ocean had finally got the Commodore 64 and Amiga conversions into the shops over six months after it first reviewed them, recalled their marks of 92% each, and suggested a Gold Medal might have been deserved. Amiga Format's May 1990 review said the conversion had "finally arrived on the Ocean label", and The One wrote in April 1990 that the game, first revealed in its pages over a year before and reviewed six months later, had only now been released.p. 36 (image 36)Magazine
Amiga Format reviewed the Amiga version (Ocean, £24.99) in May 1990 under Andy Smith's name, made it a Format Gold and gave it 95% overall, with 8 for graphics, 6 for sound, 3 for intellect and 9 for addiction. The judgement called it "a cracking game", supremely addictive, and said the conversion was superb.p. 5, contents (image 5)p. 36 (image 36)p. 36, ratings box (image 36)p. 37, badge (image 37)p. 37 (image 37)p. 37, Judgement (image 37)p. 37, Judgement (image 37)Magazine
