Cheers Laird, that was quick.

Loved the 128K Speccy music and cartoony sprites, great detail to the visuals, but seem to come at expense of playing area and push scrolling, but i was impressed none the less.

CPC:Pity there's no in-game music, graphics seem fine, seemed to slow down when things got busy, but good over all.

C64:Best music, as i expected, best scrolling (no surprise), but visually seemed hit and miss.Game ran at a fair old lick and liked the animation, but giving it to the Spectrum here.

As a C64 owner at the time, the Speccy is honestly really impressing me with how it's faring in a lot of arcade-to-8 Bit micro ports.It's giving the C64 a pasting in several cases.

I think Jim Bagley did a wonderful job of the Spectrum version; nice chunky, detailed and colourful graphics - something you don't always see on the Spectrum.

For that reason alone I think it wins with ease here.
