Notes

RemarksThe Dro Soft/Serma versions were translated to Spanish, and compatible with Spectrum +2A and +3.

RemarksThe game was announced in 1985 for Commodore 64, Amstrad and ZX Spectrum, but only the Commodores 64 got released that year. The ZX Spectrum version got delayed until January 1986, as informed on Your Sinclair #2 page 4.
