I ordered Wizard's Lair and it arrived yesterday. The loading scheme is exactly as described above. Basically, it's a faster version of the 'normal' or Starquake loader.

Steve Crow's games had the best beeper sound effects for me.
Going in a wardrobe lift in Wizard's Lair sounds great in that same way as going through a security door in Starquake does (like Paul says).

Why is Fairlight a no-no? The Edge haven't denied distribution, but with gamestage around anything's possible I suppose.
