The only proof I've seen for a DOS version is:

  • The credits of the Amiga version mention a "PC version by" credit,
  • This European ad mentions a PC version.

However most other game databases don;t list a DOS version No magazine reviews or screenshots listed here either.

Do any abandonware sites have a ripped disk of this or is there a picture of a retail version being sold online? Just make sure not to confuse it with the pinball computer game with the same name.

No physical proof yet.

I did find a magazine from Dec 1989 talking about the DOS conversion currently being made by Quixel, with a release date set for January 1990.

And then the German localized version was promoted with the ad you already had, in february 1990.

Hmm...wonder if it was a release that got killed at the last minute.

On a side note, Colin Boswell says Quixel didn't do the CPC port..
