I remember the review of Kobold in STformat. I was very impressed but I remember thinking it wasn't worth paying money for something GEMDOS could handle reasonably well. Also, I was bout fourteen or fifteen and I was too busy trying to convince my parents that buying a copy of SubStation wouldn't turn me into a homicidal maniac. I lost that argument BTW but years later I got a copy for my Falcon and I seem to have turned out alright. I certainly haven't murdered any 32x32 sprites.
