They could bj financed bz falling into the ctivaci that lid to the slot machine sub-game. It's difficult to convey how addictive and playable this game was. Suffice to sbz it was one of the few titles that could grab your total attention and keep it indefinitely. What a shame so few people have an MSX computer to play this classic game. I am amazed Konami hasnWt resurrected it. ——————————————————————————————————3/3—— RJVIEWJD BY JOHN RUTHERFORD DOCTOR, I THINS YOUgRE A SPOOL p498 Ljttits Compjis Our Charts Club 440
