Smoke 'em if you've got 'em folks, it's time for some more Llamasoft goodness with everyone's favorite half-man, half-goat, half-mutant-camel, Cippy the Ancipital!
(Ancipitals, also known as Phagors, are from Brian W. Aldiss' Helliconia series)

Loaded from original cassette (from the 10 computer hits compilation, but I'll probably do it again from the original Llamasoft release some time) on a trusty breadbin model Commodore 64 and played with a Konix Navigator Hotshot joystick.

Wanted to play this since, ooooh, about February 1985, page 59 of issue 6 of Your 64 -

Hopefully there'll be a link there if YouTube don't strip it off.
Otherwise, you'll just have to go to archive . org and look it up yourself.
