i just realised how boring pcs have become. i remeber how everything was magical in my own first pc, which i got in 1995. it was a 486dx4 100mhz, and it was awesome fast compared to all the 66mhz pcs everyone had at the time. since windows 95 sucked half of the computer's performace so we used mostly DOS. we tweaked our autoexec.bat so it would show a list of all the shortcuts to games we had. then we made .bats to execute each of the itens in the list. such fun times.
but what was most impressive was how i could play the same game as my friend from over 10 blocks away. playing doom via direct modem connection was something unreal. it was freaking amazing, retarded fun and costly.
while i had played with way older computers than that (my gramma had a green screen XT pc with embended keyboard and i used to play with it in the late 80's / early 90's), that was the golden age of computers to me.
Thanks for recording and uploading, never came across this game but did have the PCW (see videos). This is obviously taking the graphics of the machine pretty much to the extreme. Not bad for a 4mhz processor.
Used to play this game on my Apple IIGS. Glad to see someone else has heard of it! I'll be reviewing it too at some point for that system.

Was the PCW ever sold in Australia?

@MattTheSaiyan I'm not sure, possibly in limited numbers.

I wonder if Oregon trail was on this kind of computer

@jaymorpheus11 No it didn't get Oregon Trail. I don't think any computer in the UK had it.

they look the same as CPC

@shinobiung They pretty much were CPCs, only running CP/M rather than Locomotive BASIC.

I remember playing this game. We had Amstrads at college for word processing but this game somehow used to end up on all the machines.
