Notes
TypeText
Known ErrorsThe 128K version is incomplete. It contains new features, such as a new star effect (that you must find in the first mission), but flying over it makes the game crash because part of the code is missing.
PublicationThere are three know Mirrorsoft releases for this game: the original 1985 release for ZX Spectrum 48K; a second release in 1986 that includes a 48K only version on one side of the cassette and a 128K compatible version on the other side; and a third release in 1986 with an incomplete 128K enhanced version.
