Remarks
Comes with a free audio track by H.E.X.
Widely considered the worst commercial game for the ZX-Spectrum, CRL reported selling only 250 copies. It was created by inexperienced Jason Creighton when he was 15 y/o, based on a printed game map without direct access to the original Commodore 64 version, given 1 month deadline during his school exams.
Known Errors
The game cannot be controlled because CAPS LOCK is mistakenly turned on by the program loader. In order to play the game, BREAK into BASIC, execute POKE 23658,0 and CONTINUE.
