- On the amiga version i used to play at a friends house the two player option was played over a link
- between two amigas one as host the other as slave presumably ther's some way of doing this on the arc but
- i haven't a clue what the connection is. The relevent menu options are still there (i think its via the world icon
- -- sorry can't be more specific but the power supply on my arc died two days ago so can't check it out)
