Notes
TypeText
RemarksZXSR: Came with 16k Mikro-Plus cartridge that plugged into interface slot to increase memory. This was the first and last game to use this.
RemarksThis game came with the {Mikro-Plus|Mikro-Gen Ltd|1000941} interface, containing a 16K shadow ROM and joystick port. The ROM image can be found in the 'Additional material' section below. Fraser Ross created a {Shadow of the Unicorn ROM Loader|Fraser Ross|0023000} for the +2A/+3, which loads this ROM into RAM, allowing playing the game without the additional hardware device.
RemarksSPOT: with Mikro-Plus 16k plug-in; first -and last- Mikro-Plus game
