Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker (Amiga, Atari ST)

Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker marks Dropzone programmer Archer Maclean's first foray in the world of cue sports. Praised for its realism in the simulation of hitting colored balls, it went on to receive several sequels, most of them also bearing the English player's name.

Build Date/Hidden Credit#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Most of the [https://hiddenpalace.org/Jimmy_White%27s_Whirlwind_Snooker_(Aug_13,_1990_prototype) ST prototypes] have similar build dates. Is there still code to display them?

Found within the disk image for the game is a build date with a credit to Archer Maclean. While it is compressed in the Amiga release, it is not in the Atari ST one.
