Remarks
ZX81 & Spectrum versions on tape
Andy Pugh remembers: "I didn't buy my Spectrum, I was given it by M C Lothlorien (a software company) for porting my ZX81 game (Privateer) to the new platform. Of course, we didn't have "porting" then. I re-wrote it from scratch as the tape drive formats were incompatible."

Producer: MC Lothlorien, 48K £4.50 It's a good price but reflects the fact that this is an updated ZX81 program and looks like it. A 3-phase naval war game which gives you command of a Royal Navy ship fighting French Privateers. It is a suitable game for an introduction into the whole battle strategy area, but too simple for hardened veterans.
