I always thought it was that Cyrus on the Z80 when people mentioned it. Gosh I
feel old now. :) I had Cyrus for the Amstrad CPC464 back then. The 2D-board was
very nice and smooth. I loved to play tons of blitz games against it and back
then I even had chances to win a game once in a while. I wish I could play that
now under a CPC-emulator for Linux/Mac. :)
