Player One put out an obscure album called Game Over, but the song can also be found on a few 1980's collections albums, including one of the period called Full Boar (WHICH I HAVE). It was also released as a 7" record in Australia only, backed with a second possibly-related song entitled "A Menacing Glow in the Sky".
