Not free in UK.

Description says now free, but itunes keeps trying to charge £2.49
Any idea why this is the case?

that I can't say. Sometimes they give apps for free in one country and not others. I know of some apps in the UK we can't even buy let alone get them for free.

I don't remember the Windows version having much in common with its Amiga origins,  even though Mike Smithwick wrote them both.  Other than recyling the name, how can a version coded for iPad have any relevance to the Amiga community?  I guess they are all about the night sky.  ;)

Yes, should be in the other operating systems section.  Also hasn't it been free for a while?
