That is awesome! btw I've already been looking at some of the MZ-700 emulators on www.sharpmz.org to see how to input+save a listing in some MZ-700 format. Apparently there were many versions of BASIC for the MZ-700, so picking which one works for Pitman might be tricky.

Cool, sure hope you can get it *fingers crossed* btw I noticed this same yahoo auction 2 weeks ago, and then the closing-date was May 29th. Apparently it was extended now until June 12th (I translated the page with yahoo's Babel Fish). The magazine is such an obscure item anyway, I guess if it doesn't sell this time the auction will probably get extended again.

Great Catrap article! I've been fascinated with Pitman (aka Catrap) ever since I played it on the original gameboy. I had it on a 68-in-1 multigame cartridge and finished all levels. It's so elegant, simple to play yet very difficult. It has never received as much attention as it deserves I think. I've always wanted to reprogram it with better graphics and more levels etc. Btw there also was another game called "Mole Mole" for the PC-88 which is in a way similar to Pitman. Maybe the original Pitman was inspired by that game, because MoleMole was released in july 1985 and Pitman for MZ was released in august 1985 (maybe both ideas were developed separately though). It was also released for the NES, inaccurately titled "Banana" for some reason. Anyway I would also love to see the orginal BASIC listing for the original MZ-700 version. The august 1985 issue of the Oh!MZ magazine is actually on sale now, but I can't read Japanese and don't know how to buy from this Japanese auction site (I'm from the Netherlands) If anyone here knows how to buy it, and make a scan that would be awesome! Oh!MZ magazine (august 1985) -> page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w62795020cheers, Bas
