This game was published in 1993 on Commodore Format's covertape number 38. However there is an interesting story behind the publication of this game:
 

Initially this game was written in 1988/1989 and was called "Breakout" and had some strong interest from Hewson Consultants who were considering publishing it on their own label. At their request, a few extra features were added in order to inject some variety into the game play (most notably the console sub-games). Despite these additions, Hewson decided not to go ahead and publish, and the game virtually died while the author went to University.
Sometime during 1991, the game was resurrected and the well-known Commodore Format were invited to buy the game outright for one of their cover tapes. Unfortunately, they went ahead and published it without any kind of approval or payment to the copyright holders. Reluctantly, we issued a claim against them through the courts for breach of copyright. The case was heard in the Manchester Magistrates court and went in our favour, resulting in an award for a sum of money plus expenses against Future Publishing.
