Yeah, mine had a tear in the end label. Another reason I wanted to get rid of it.

Found this pic in book, The Complete History of Computer and Video Games, page 33:
I didn't see any mention of what system it was for, but it was probably for a Euro system, possibly MSX. Any one know more about this? They also mention Elite did a Dukes of Hazzard game.

Has anyone verified this? I was a member of Gameline from the beginning and still have the firs two Gameline magazines, and don't remember seeing Save The Whales at all. It is possible that the game was offered right before Gameline folded but I've never found any evidence of this.

Maybe they just had plans to and never did, which is how this rumor(?) got started.

I know that Dan Skelton is one guy who swears it was listed. But I don't think he's on the board to 'splain.

The box picture I posted was probably for the Spectrum then. Does anyone know if the C64 box has the same artwork?

Can't find a scan of the C64 box specifically, but I would assume it would (par for the course).

Gentlemen,
The Joystick Jolter will tell you about
9 to 5. It was planned, may have been fairly
far in proto, but I doubt there was ever any finished product. The game was supposed to be, now get this a secretary-boss fight-out. This was the proposed gameplay:
A secretary's work is never done: dictation, typing letters, filing, and it all has to be done on time. Now, the boss wants coffee, and time is running short. can she keep up with the pace.
I seem to remember seeing a short proto at CES, but far from a finished product. I can't find anything in my notes about it other than what I just gave you. Those words are directly from a Fox Games of the Century Titles Press Release.
