I agree with Mr 8 Bit Wars, C64 version is the best of the bunch and by quite a long way.  And, I can say that without a hint of apology for being a C64 fan.  I regularly played Kane as a kid.  It could be frustrating but also wasn't shy at being a rewarding experience.  I may have to have a game later.

Kane was developed for C64 and ported to other formats was it not?.

But indeed C64 version is by far the most professional looking, very nice horse animation on the Speccy mind.

Cut down versions on BBC, Electron+C16?.

Visually that's a lot better than i expected, great looking backdrops, nicely defined sprites, pity they seem to come at expense of gameplay though.
