Once again, pesky aliens are giving us Earthlings lots of grief. We previously fought them off but they managed to pinch a time machine so are using that to alter history and wreak havoc by taking crucial hostages from each period in an attempt to halt their influence. From the invention of the wheel in prehistoric times to England's King Arthur uniting Britain! And where would any of us be today without Japan and its technical wizardry? Yep, we cannot allow this - the fight is on!

What an accomplishment this game is. Created with such a small team, the result is really amazing. The game oozes creative passion. While the gameplay is really well balanced, it is a tough cookie, very hard from time to time with its moments of sheer frustration. As of level 3, timing becomes key. You will need to practice and learn the levels to complete this game, there are so many bad guys on screen it sometimes gets a bit hard to take.

Graphically, it's also nice on the eyes with well-defined graphics and animation. You really get the feeling that the developers put some thought and love into the game. Remember what I said about the large levels? Well these are wonderful and are very different to each other, they also scroll fairly smooth in all four directions.
In the mid 80's Atari was approached by a company called Nintendo. They asked if Atari was interested in distributing their new 8 bit system. At that time, Jack Tramiel was head of the Atari company. He declined the offer, saying Atari wanted to stop releasing consoles and focus on personal computers instead! So in the end, Nintendo had to distribute the consoles themselves ... In just a few months, they wiped Atari from the throne!
ProCopy (Utility) is present on 9 menudisks.
Notes: The scrolltext was a bugger to rip as it used two separate fonts for the two "people" talking to each other. I got there in the end. The menu is a pastiche of the two comics Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones "talking heads" skits - like this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oHQLMLG1KY - MugUK 21/04/2025!

The Floppy Copy Crew proudly present Utils 2 It has come our attention that some people were having problems with the STOS complier on Disk 3 so we have re-issued this disk you can tell this by the menu decrunch it is now black & white.
Right on with Utils 2 scroller: There are a couple of other PRGS on this disk that are not on the menu so you'll have to go to desktop to find them. Blitz 5.0 is the real software that was written for Blitz by the people who designed it, not one of the lame text edited versions (This does not include the modified versions by Jobil) which have been floating about.
If you have any business or utilities which you use regulary then send us a copy of them. There are no slaggings on this disk and there will be no more unless they are well deserved, but there are some greetings on this scroller. So greetings to:
