HELLO EVERYBODY!

COUCOU LES MOUETTES. COUCOU LES CRACKERS SAUVAGES. COUCOU MON CHIEN.
BON LES MONDANITES ETANT ENONCEES JE ME PERMET BIEN HUMBLEMENT DE 
VOUS RAPPELER QUE QUE QUE QUE QUE C ' E S T I N T E R D I T D E C R A C K E R D E S S O F T S !

EH OUI! MEME UN PETIT PEU! ET C'EST LA LOI QUI VEUT CA!

IF you pirate THEN GOTO prison ELSE merci pour l'achat de ce soft que 
j'ai voulu assez bien animé et a la hauteur de celle de LA TARIE ST!

On peut les critiquer les 16 bits (ou 16/32) ils ont bel et bien prouves qu'il n'existe 
pas de recettes miracles pour faire de bon jeux. Je ne pretends pas posséder cette recette 
toutefois, mon dévouement envers l'AMSTRAD CPC m'entraînera, j'en suis sur, a donner le 
maximum pour la qualité d'animation.

C'est, hélas, un domaine trop souvent baclé!

HELLO EVERYBODY!

HELLO, SEAGULLS. HELLO, WILD CRACKERS. HELLO, MY LITTLE PUPPY.
NOW WITH ALL THE MUNDANITIES OUT OF THE WAY I AM ABLE TO HUMBLY 
REMIND YOU THAT THAT THAT THAT THAT I T ' S F O R B I D D E N T O C R A C K T H I S S O F T W A R E !

OH, YES! EVEN A LITTLE BIT! AND THAT'S ACCORDING TO LAW!

IF you pirate THEN GOTO prison ELSE thank you for buying this game that
I wanted it animated well enough and to the level of the ATARI ST version!

One can be critical of these 16 bits (or 16/32), they've done a lovely job of proving that there is no
such thing as a miracle recipe for making a good game. I don't claim to possess this recipe, 
however, my devotion to the AMSTRAD CPC has allowed me, I'm sure, to give as
much as possible when it comes to animation quality.

It is, alas, a domain too often neglected!
