Yup.. sure did... GREAT GAME... I got it for christmas several year ago..
Some hacker group deprotectd it and threw it on a 3.5" too, which is
much easier for //gs people to deal with...

As I found out from uploading my PCS games on DOS 3.3 5.25" disks, hardly
anyone has 5.25" drives hooked up to their GS anymore... (anyone want to
see those games as DOS3.3 launcher images?)

later...
