Cycling Event
"Cycling", one of the six events in the game was originally announced. It appears in advertisements and the early versions of the cassette cover as well as the disk cover. However, this event never made it to the game, probably in a very close to the actual release date.

A C16 oriented interview with Colin Courtney, MD at Tynesoft, published at page 59 of the magazine Commodore Computing International October 1986 was accompanied by a screenshot of the Cycling event. Unfortunately, this appears to actually from the BBC version of the game.


Disk Version
Whereas the tape version has a direct flow of the events, at the end of which the game must be reloaded, the disk version has its proper event selection menu, but lacks of the big Tynesoft logo built up in BASIC.
