This SID version sounds much more interesting than Amiga modules. It was much easier to compose the tune on the Amiga. C64 is something really unique - when you read the specs this seems to be quite ordinary 8-bit machine, but once you check what was and still is done on this machine... You must be shocked. 8-bit KING!
this primitive graphics is enough dark suggestive to feed your imagination, but final battle looks like tearing of toenail from giant foot.
Today it seems to be impossible make anything having 48K free ram.

absolutely great soundtrack emulation. The c64's version is more exciting, while the Amiga's soundtrack for SotB was more surreal and creepy.

weird but interesting game.

Considering the limitations of the C64, I think it's safe to say that this version kicks ass.

Wow, this version is extremely junky. I noticed a couple of extra messages though.

I have the cartridge version, but I do believe there were a tape version but was a multiload. Pains they are!!

There wasn't a tape version, since the cartridge offered some enhancements over the c64-hardware like the parallax-scrolling.
By the way, were there still tape-versions of c64-games released in the early nineties? I thought everyone would have had a 1541 by then ;-)
The ZX-Spectrum 128K-version was released on tape actually.
