P. Harness - Action

Action is spelt '@ction' and sub-titled (I think) as a 'CD Board Game'. Apparently interactive. I think it came out somewhere around 1995. Very hard getting exact details. The band hail from Canberra and bill themselves as a 'wild performance band'. Sounds about right.

Released on the independent label WOT (Way Over There) from Melbourne, the game comes in a rather large cardboard box. Obviously sales were low and that may have been in part due to postage costs. Inside is a dice, coloured counters (for six people), 16 jigsaw pieces to make up the board, mystery cards (similar to Monopoly), a CD, Booklet (scans included in the download) and a WOT info card. Amazing. 

P. Harness (with a dot after the 'P') were previously known as Prik Harness and they dissolved after this release. Mikel Simic (aka Mikelangelo) was the driving force, morphing into Mikelangelo & The Black Sea Gentlemen or Mikelangelo & The Tin Star. I have seen these bands on many occasions and always enjoyed their performances. CD's are out and about - worth chasing down.
