W539: NITEMARE 3D FOR WINDOWS v1.3 (94) D.GRAY - £3.00

Identical story to the DOS version (H538) but specially written to run under
Windows with optional soundcard support. Easy installation that includes a
joystick driver for Windows (or use keyboard). We favour the DOS version and
find the controls smoother and faster. However if you prefer a Windows inter-
