Remarks
E. Powell comments: "The Dragnet Case (Robert's title) was to be our first game. By this time I had bought PAW and GAC. Robert provided an outline of the game idea and a hand-drawn picture of the office that appears in the game. After many months of laboring with PAW we had something close to finished, and I asked for playtesters in Your Sinclair. A few people responded, and I sent the game out, including to someone in the next road to me. They came back with a heap of bugs and spelling errors. These were corrected, but by this time Robert moved away from my area and school was making demands. Also my Spectrum 128 died and that was the end of Taskmaster Software."
Known Errors
Two of the preserved copies have errors and cannot be completed. The author provided the finished and fully playable version.
Publication
The game never got released, but some unfinished copies intended for testing, and a "work in progress" with some of the errors corrected, got preserved. Later, the author recovered the final, fully playable version.
