Published in the book 21 Games For The BBC Micro by Mike James, S. M. Gee and Kay Ewbank, published by Granada Publishing Ltd.
The book contains the following description:
If you’ve ever watched a shepherd and his dog coax a flock of sheep
into a pen you’re bound to agree that its a quite astounding feat. The
experienced shepherd makes it all look so effortless as he shouts and
whistles commands to his dog who obediently stands his ground, or
edges up a few paces, or runs around the back of the flock to head off
a straggler.
This game is an extremely realistic simulation. In fact its so true-tolife
that the only person we know who’s scored a ‘Super Shepherd’
rating was a real sheep farmer!! Five fluffy white sheep and a black
dog appear in a green field surrounded by a picket fence − it creates
just the right country atmosphere.
