+This enabled pictures to be drawn using a minimal amount of memory.
 In the heyday of the CPC, few major-label commercial games were produced using ''GAC'' (probably fewer than with ''The Quill''), but it had a vast following in the homebrew and public domain scenes - despite a comparatively high retail price of £24.95 in the UK.
-''GAC'' was also notorious for its [[Lenslok]] protection system, which mercifully was removed before the utility appeared on a covertape included with the January 1992 issue (#76) of ''[[Amstrad Action]]''. ''[[Amstrad Action]]'' launched a competition to produce an adventure and have it featured on a later covertape. The covertape didn't include two standalone adventures which accompanied ''GAC'' in it's original package when released.
