I assume from the fact that you are readingthis hat you know what the title means.
To those who dont, this an icon game from when I was young and had to load games on my bbc b using an audio cassette.
I now have a copy that loads instantly on the pc and is emailable.
If anyone wants this, it is a great excuse for wasting time at work.
Relpy to this if you want a copy and I will do a block send of the game.

You haven't got Elite too by any chance - I was upto dangerous I think!!
Lets scrap our pc's and go back to the good old days of loading off an audio tape, at least I never had a gpf
Did you have to talk your dad into getting the disk drive for the bbc b too Adam? When I did I could play tunes and play the game - what a step foward
I was quite good at Chuckie as I remember.
Looking for your mail,
Sorry Adam.......

Adam,
I'd like a copy too please. Mail address as per my profile.
I used to be very good at this.. a two player game once lasted eight hours.
About to get very, very off-topic here, but seeing as we are talking about reliving our misspent youth, has anyone checked out MAME? I had about 100 classic arcade games from the mid '80s... The ROMS are almost always under 32k in size, so you can collect loads. there are loads of fan sites on the net - unfortunatly davesclassics.com seems to have died 
There is also a nifty freeware spectrum emulator for the Psion series 5, and there are over 6000 game images on the net. surf to

I have sent out the first batch, if any one else wants, I will wait for them to accumulate till it stops then do it again.
Alex, I realise that your email address is in your profile, but that means for each person I have to open and close a third window, then cut and paste accross to my email. It was supposed to be easier for me if you just write it, but its done now anyway.
Same goes for you moray and others.
