      <description><![CDATA[In Tilt french magazine, the game "Terrahawks" appears as distributed in France by Coconut.<br />
The thing is that, Coconut is/was a shop, so I dont know if we should tale that as if they really distributed the game, or just imported it...<br />

<br />
It all sounds like Run Informatique was a french distributor of UK games in France!<br />
I will keep checking this magazine (its a gold mine!!) and see if there was more games like this one. But everything indicates that we are in front of a good discovery :)]]></description>

The real name of the author of this adventure game (a type-in program published at Microhobby magazine) is Marcos Montes de Oca Gonzalez<br />
<br />
And a remark about this program: Michaelino Campus Vetustus Labanda is what his author has come to translate Mike Oldfield in Latin language. Inside the game there is music adapted from this musician, so there is only one person in charge of the making of this title.]]></description>

in fact the name is "Hubschrauber Pilot", the "-" means only that the author used too big graphics and was forced to tear a word in pieces ;). I looked into the Happy Computer 11/84. They entitled the listing and filename as "Helicopter", so the entry should be corrected to:<br />
"Hubschrauber Pilot" aka "Helicopter".]]></description>
