		INTRODUCTION & THANKS

The Land Beyond Time is a two part graphic adventure.  Programming started 
in 1985 and was finally completed at the end of 2006.  I'm so sorry for
the delay but I've been out enjoying myself.

I haven't seen Mr Rogan in all that time apart from one occasion when we
'bumped' into each other at Blackburn College in 1997.  We exchanged the normal
'hello, what have you been doing... what are you doing now... then goodbyes...
see you in another 12 years' and I haven't seen him since.  We wrote another
game together called 'The Ring of Dreams' a text adventure.  This adventure
came with a 'Manual' which introduced the game with a short story.  This game
was published by Central Solutions along with another text adventure game of
mine called 'Trail'.

You can download these games at the World of Spectrum website.

This website and the Classic Adventures Solution Archive (CASA) website finally
motivated me to finish The Land Beyond Time - 21 years after it was originally
started.

I wonder if we qualify for a new World Record?   

A BIG THANK YOU TO:

Jacob Gunness at the CASA website (www.solutionarchive.com) for his inspiration
and patience in waiting another couple of months for me to finish this adventure.

Everyone involved at the World of Spectrum website (www.worldofspectrum.org).

Gilsoft Home Computing Software for writing The Quill, The Illustrator and
The Patch (The Land Beyond Time is a 'patched' adventure).

Finally, all Spectrum users for keeping the Spectrum alive since 1982.
