HI

well I first got laser squad on the good ole spectrum 48k in 1988.  The
spectrum was like the commordore in UK terms.

Well it kept me up all night and day... bloody excellent!!!
I even got to meet the makers of the game (gallop bros) at a computer fair
in 1990.  Great bunch of guys!!!  Even got the orignal laser squad posters

I then brought and amiga and I thought I was free, then laser squad came out
on the amiga.  Again more sleepless nights... lastly I brought a PC in 1992,
and Laser squad came out yet again...

well as you can guess the games is additive.  Laser squad is like a 2d
version of Xcom 1.  It's brillaint, and I've got the speccy version on ROM
too!

Back to more sleepless nights!!! ho hum!

Lee

BTW, before laser squad, there were pre-sequals of laser Sq.  Called Rebel
star 1 + 2... :-)  same thing!!! pure genuis!
