I see at:

Get Dexter is listed as missing in action, but is there any reason at all to think that the game was ever ported to the Speccy? I really really wish it had been, but surely if it had had any existance beyond a couple of small mentions in magazines then we'd have heard of it by now?

If there is any more information then please post it here, I'd have loved this game to have been Spectrum-ised, but my hopes aren't high.

    I have some info about Get Dexter.
    In SU and Crash magazines was reported, that Get Dexter (and Doomsday Blues) has been converted to Spectrum by Infogrames.

    Crash №39, page 10.
    "Infogrames, the people who brought you Mandragore and Vera Cruz Affair, have tied up with French company ERE Informatique to bring two arcade adventures that have long enjoyed immerse success on the Amstrad - Get Dexter and Doomsday Blues. Get Dexter is a 3D game featuring some stunning graphics and probably the cutest hero ever - Xunk - a single-footed creature who bounds about the screens warning our hero Dexter of ensuing meanies, and there are plenty of them."

    Sinclair User №60, page 20.
    "Get Dexter and Doomsday Blues, two fabulous 3D games from France, are to be converted to Spectrum by Infogrames. The names of the games were originally coined by PSS, who introduced the Amstrad versions in Britain, but Infogrames has gone back to the original french names, Crafton and Eden Blues. Both are edge-on Knight Lore style efforts, but very cleverly done - at least they were on the Amstrad. June ti see how the Spectrum versions come out."

    I tell you this much - Doomday Blues/Eden Blues was mega difficult! You could die after leaving the first room.

    Get Dexter was a excellent CPC game - I had many a go on it in the day. IIRC, it recieved an Amstrad Action Rave or Mastergame and spawned a sequel..
