Has anyone heard of this game? It is by Impressions, not listed at Moby. The one I have is for Amiga, don't know if it was released for any other platform? If anyone has heard of it is it rare? I am going to put it up for sale but have no clue what it is worth if anything. Thanks, Tom

That should work, I'd say. I suggest drilling the holes in at an angle, so that water, as Dan mentioned, can't get in. Meaning, you'd put the drill at the back of the plastic case, pointing upward, when you drill the hole. Perhaps the side of the case used for the holes should be a little thicker
