The two adventures on the tape are *very* different. They were obviously created independently and then brought together under the crude "Merlock" framing device.
B. Aldred is credited in the game database, alongside main author Peter Dwyer. It seems probably that he's the "B.A." who create the "Merlock" loading screens.
The eight adventures of Merlock the Mede were planned to be delivered across a "tetrad" of releases. Players were promised a free Merlock digital watch, if they collected all four cassettes. However, only the first compilation was released. The planned Amstrad version, mentioned in C&VG January 1986 also doesn't seem to have happened.
