There seems to be some question as to the trustworthiness of this person.

Dan Wolf is the programmer of this game.  He is a visible figure in the
Amiga Toaster/Flyer community as he sells his own 3rd party software.
I've already met him in person at the Newtek Expo.

The game came up on the Toaster mailing list when we were discussing the
archetectural similarities between the 2600, Atari 8-bit, and Amiga.  He
mentioned the game he wrote, how he used an Apple II and a Frob, etc...

Russ Perry identified the game as Kamikaze Saucers based on an old EG
magazine that featured a preview ad from Syncro Software with Dan's name
listed as the author.

Dan mentioned the author of the other game who lives in Los Angeles, so I
can surely bring an EPROM reader to that guy's home to supervise.  Dan
lives in Santa Maria, CA which is a trek for me so realistically I'd have
to lend him a reader.
