  • Interesting to see the Vic-20 version finally on Youtube, and looking much more similar to this C64 version than the later and better C16 game. I also see that the stun gun thing has a clear use in the Vic-20. Did you ever manage to make it do anything useful in this version? I tried numerous times, and ended up assuming that they just forgot to program in any function for the thing.

  • @CommanderKrail No, the stun gun is useless in this version. Didn't know of the C16 version. Might check it out.

  • This game looks like someone's nightmare!

    It reminds me "Roland on the ropes" for the CPC.

  • @alex76gr Plays nicely but has some ugly-ass graphics and sound.

  • In my childhood I played this one hour by hour. It was kind of hard to solve and it followed me in my dreams...

  • @wandererlain It's widely considered the best game on the C16 (with no expanded memory, at any rate), and is certainly a lot better than this mess ... Having said that, 178 screens of very similar bricks and traps will eventually create a hypnotic sense of deja vu, and the music is pretty grating (though nowhere near as surreally awful as the C64 "tune").

  • Don't know why but it gives me a Montezuma's Revenge vibe when watching it. But it looks awful.

  • One rare occasion where a C64 game is soundly beaten by the C16+4 version (which did, I believe, come out later). Horrendously difficult attempt at a scrolling Manic Miner clone, I never did figure out what (if any) use the weapon was, though concentration was hardly helped by the mind-bendingly atonal music.
