I’ve received an E.mail update from Andrew at CJE Micro’s regarding pictures of the game. 😃
Firstly, a big shoutout from me to Andrew for all his help and assistance on this! Thanks to him, we now have 4 public product photos, which show the cover art matches the one on this website. Additionally, the company Sherston Software on the cover art and floppy discs, as well as the release year of 1994 on the floppy discs, match the same information on this website.

At this point, I’m pretty confident the game is in fact an Acorn computer game on 3½ inch floppy disks, not a Windows computer game as stated on this page.
I’ll look into this some more, but based on what I’ve seen so far and what I’ve been informed by Andrew, the prospect of me preserving the game might be far outside of my capabilities! 😅
If purchasing an Acorn computer system (Plus whatever additional items it might need on top of that.) is necessary to preserve the game, then this is very likely way beyond what I can afford to buy. Furthermore, I doubt I could make room for physical space to properly store such hardware, even if I could somehow afford it all.
Thanks a lot for looking into this, especially as there’s very little to no info about this game online. If it was available on a floppy disk, it would be possible to extract the ROM from it without needing an Acorn computer. It can then be played on an emulator like ArcEm.
I’m currently looking into the possibility of me preserving the game, but based on my searching it appears to be an Acorn computer game, not a Windows computer game as this page states? 🧐

I’m in E.mail communication with a business called CJE Micro’s, who sell the game and have it in stock; they’ve informed me it’s in Acorn 3½ inch floppy disk format, quote:
“it is supplied on an Acorn format 3.5″ floppy disc. What Acorn system do you wish to run this on? Please note that this will not run on eg. Windows or Mac systems.”

I’m currently asking them if they can send me one or more pictures of the product, to see if it matches the cover image of the product on this website and help confirm if it’s the same specific product that this page refers to.
I’ll post here again when I have an update. 🙂
