Evening all!

I've installed a sophia2 into one of 800XL's and being going through some cassettes I've had boxed up for a few years and come across the titled game.  It looks like a bonkers but interesting game, the sound effects are musical, looks simple yet polished. But I haven't the foggiest what to do.

Anybody played this and know what to do?

Yeah, saw that, the instructions are for the C64.

Just had a couple of dozen games or so, well I say games, I was more an observer than a player.  Can't work out what I am supposed to do, no idea which SAIL I'm controlling if any.

Still interesting and polished.

Found a clip on youtube of C64 version....Still no clue what to do

Thanks for that Doc.  Missed this game first time round, in both guises.  Got this cassette version along with a dozen others with an 800XL I bought over 10 years ago.  As bonkers a game it is, it's one of those games draws you in.

I actually had this game. Never really worked out how to play it properly, even with the instructions, so don't think I tried it out more than a couple of times.
