Oh! I thought nobody had posted it yet and just submitted it to all relevant forums! Have you submitted it everywhere else as well?

In case anyone's wondering - yes it does run under WinUAE - really well - memory's tight though (unsurprising as Hyperion's site say it needs 256mb!) :D

I've got the full version. It's a fun little game. I'm a couple fights in so it'll be interesting to see where the story goes. A few minor graphic glitches in some screenmodes, but otherwise the port seems solid and well done.

I find the combat UI to be a little clunky - it's turn-based, but there's no way to plan out different moves before taking your turn. In other words, you can't walk around inside your character's movement range and then decide where to stop based on what targets are available. Once you click, that's where your character is going, and you'd better hope you clicked on the correct square.

That issue aside (certainly not a fault of the Amiga version), it's a fun little game, as I said above. Worth buying, I think, and it feels good to throw some money at a developer :)
