I'll be checking out PGA at some point soonish. Again, I think it's something I might have played on both the Amiga and PC.. Will be interesting to check them out all these years later.

Here are the computer hardware and software charts from November 1983 - PCN Magazine, UK. There were so many computers to choose from back then. Many disappeared without a trace, but the Spectrum, Commodore and BBC Micro sold really well. Great games available from Ultimate, Imagine, Bug Byte etc.

I don't normally go for the crazy burgers, but yeah.. this one works and I ate it all up like a good boy.

PS.. I hadn't eaten anything other than coffee all day.. so that might have helped! So good!

I've not played every computer game ever made, so I cannot say with any certainty that our new game is the only one to ever reference 70s Cookstown comedian Jimmy Cricket.
