SpudJones Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I remember playing this game a lot on the Apple II back in the day. Later I played it on a Microbee (although I think it was called something else to avoid copyright). I know Irem made several arcade versions and I've tried some of those a little on mame. Anyone else played this classic game? What computer did you play it on? What's your favorite port / hardware platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Arcade King Posted April 15, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2019 I first played it as a kid on my Atari XEGS. The game never looked right on PAL systems due to being a Apple II port which uses the NTSC artifact colour glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever had a Vic20 so I was always envious of the kids with a C64. I wonder if it would be easy to run up on a C64 mini? - - - Updated - - - Yep, loved this game. Played it on the BBC model B. I don't think I ever saw the BBC port, although I did see some cool games on the BBC. There was a time when I thought a BBC or Acorn would've been a great computer to get but ended up with a Microbee instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first computer was a TI99/4A - it was a great little computer, had a cartidge slot and a tape drive, and there was some awesome games including an incredibly addictive D+D game called Tunnels of Doom, and good quality shooters like Parsec, Buck Rogers. was hugely envious of my mate's C64 and I remember buying a used C64 and 1541 with money from doing indoor cricket umpiring after school hours :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudJones Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I found out there's a new version for the Nintendo Switch (and also Steam I believe) which not only looks nice, but also has "Classic Mode" so you can play the original game as well. I think I found what I'll be up to this rainy weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocketmoney Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 loved playing the Apple 2 version back in the 80's. Used the level creator to make some insanely hard levels for mates too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
