About the Game

Contains the C64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum versions of the game. The C64 version also features 2-player simultaneous play.

Gameplay

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options
