Spellbound, David Jones and *that* prism
Hello,
As part of my ongoing quest to make "Spellbound"'s Wikipedia entry great I'm trying to track down the full story behind the infamous prism in the game. I seem to recall reading somewhere that this completely-useless item is an unflattering reference to Prism Leisure who had pissed off David Jones. The thing is
1) I need a reference for the article (it's currently mentioned but glaringly unsourced)
and
2) I need to get the full story of why David was so annoyed so I can, hopefully, move it from the "Trivia" section and give it a little section of its own as the Harry S Price incident does.
Ta.
Oh, and if you want a nosy (or to help) the article is here:

I made up a small Magic Knight website years ago, its still online at www.mevagissey.net/magic
In Spellbound 48k the Prism doesn't do anything. In Spellbound 128k it's used to load and save the game, like Gadget X in Knight-Tyme.
No; that's what the mirror does (it also shows you what items you're carrying).
