this is one of the first of its class.

GENERAL FACTS
One of the first coin-up conversions, I remember having seen it
in 1982. Since I bought my Spectrum in 1982, this is one of the
first games I saw. The game was translated into Spanish by
Indescomp. Charlie Granados (the author of Fred and Sir Fred)
worked in Indescomp those days, so maybe it was he who did the
translation.
NOTES
Still a classic, I enjoy playing it. What else can you ask for
a 16 Kg game? What else can yo ask for aa 8 Kb game?
