 I had a look at patching this game some moths ago already but only
 disassembled the boot file and then forgot about it. Yesterday
 I finally started the real work on this patch and today I had everything
 finished. All binaries were crunched with a custom RLE cruncher and
 had relocation tables embedded so I could easily convert them to
 standard AmigaDOS executables with a small routine which was done
 quickly. Code is OK but there still were a few things to fix.

 Protection was a manual check which I have disabled completely. 


 Enjoy the game from HD.
