So you'll have to forgive my over excitement as I have just found out through Xenomorph, that Hero Quest is getting an improved version for the Amstrad CPC.

Well this is incredible news!! As an IndieRetroNews reader, has recently informed us in our comments feed, that JOTD is still working on a Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja Arcade conversion for the Commodore Amiga (AGA).
