Dunno about attic bug (what was that exactly?) but I could never complete my
copies of Turrican and Ghosts n Goblins.
Reached the end of both (okay, I used a cheat with GnG) but on loading the
last bit the disk used to just whir to itself, chuntering away until I
reset. Same happened to a friend's Turrican too, from a later release in a
compilation.
Did anyone actually have a Turrican that worked? ("Yes!" - everyone else)
TTFN,
James.
