This game was due to be released in 1991 at the same time as the Atari ST
version.  For some reason, the game was never released and was forgotten
about.  Sometime in 2004, the original authors were tracked down and
tragically, the disks had been thrown away in the rubbish a month earlier.
All hope seemed lost!

Out of the ashes came one final copy of the game which was quickly CAPS'd.
A checksum error was discovered on track 133 of disk 2 - but apart from
that, the disks seemed to be fine.  IFW/CAPS did a great job and managed
to recover the data, which turned out to be a single bit incorrect!

If anyone enjoys looking through graphics tiles, you can use the SonShuShi
XFD decruncher in the XFD subdirectory of the install package to decrunch
the files.  The packed file format itself is not easily recognisable, so
you should only install it in your libs:xfd directory, depack the files,
and then delete it again.  Otherwise you will find it detects a lot of
files as SonShuShi data files when they are not!  It is not optimised and
should be treated as a bonus "hack" that might be useful for someone.

Greetings to Cody Jarrett for locating this rare game and IFW/CAPS for the
image as well as working on the corrupt track! Enjoy this rare game!
