Oh, they knew. I know one reviewer who mentioned that with an early Id Software game - I think maybe it was Quake - all review copies were unique and had the actual name of the reviewer hidden somewhere in the code. So if a review copy got spread to the pirates they could find out who it originated from. I never learned if this was actually true or if this was a bluff to discourage reviewers to spread their copy though.

If Rise of the Robots is really crap, then what about Dangerous Streets?

Even Renegade series on Amstrad CPC 6128 is far better than this crap from Flair Software.

At least Dangerous Streets had more than one move per character ... but yeah, I got it free in the CD32 retail bundle and remember how bad it was. There are much worse beat 'um 'ups on the Amiga though. What about PitFighter. Now that was a dire game on any platform!

No, you've to believe me. Pit Fighter is slightly better than Dangerous Streets.

We always get one who doesn't read the topic don't we!

yep most new games are leaked at the distribution stage when the masters are sent to be printed as retail copies.

Toki was another pretty broken game as a large number of copies had faults with them

The version of Silly Putty bundled as part of the Wild Weird and Wicked pack for the A600 was full of bugs, but this was later attributed to the fact that the version that was bundled in that pack was for all intents and purposes a beta! Minor fail, but still a great game.
