as well as a spiced-up JSW128 version, I'd also like to see a 48K JSW
version that's as faithful as possible to the original game (perhaps
minimally tweaked to make it possible to complete ;-) ).
NB. The game we're talking about actually exists in three different
versions (see World Of Spectrum -
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/games/ ), and I haven't made up my own
mind which is the definitive one! ;-)
