Watch out! XOR will Get You!
The Good
An interesting maze game where you have to collect all the masks before you reach 2000 steps. Then XOR will laugh at your failure! The maze is gradually revealed to you so you can plan a better strategy. There’s even a replay of your moves if you like. There’s also a nice tune which you can turn off if you like.
The Bad
Each maze has different elements to slow you down. Can get frustrating.Especially if you can’t see the maze map yet.
The Bottom Line
Nice break from shooters I say. This one is the only 16-bit version.So, it’s the best one! |

Challenging Exclusive 16-Bit Port
The Good
An excellent arcade port featuring similar visuals to the arcade. The audio mimics the arcade sounds.
The Bad
Many reviewers complained that the game was dated. I say it’s great in 2025 so it couldn’t possibly be dated in 1987!
The first half of level one is not too bad. But then there are some hair raising jumps.
The Bottom Line
However, with practice it’s possible to find strategies to get by. The challenging jump’s actually make it unique when compared with the arcade. I enjoyed it! |

The .stx file is corrupt and won't work.

Hi, many Code Masters games require that you switch off Drive B, so the game loads fine when you disable it. |

The .msa image seems to be corrupted and wont load. However, a working copy and additional information on this unfinished STOS gem can be found on the author's website:

It's now fixed, thanks for reporting :) |

Love the use of digital audio samples. The Herge characters are all present and nicely animated. While the gameplay is ok, the 1989 AV is out of this world!
The Amiga version appears to be faster and harder? |

Quite an achievement for back in 89.
A bit slow moving but that makes it more accessible. Creepy graphics is the star. Music and sound is nice but repetitive.
Recommended. |

Maybe the dump is missing because it might have not been released? The magazine article is a preview, not a review. |

I played a lot of this as a kid. Very amusing writing, but hard as hell. Could never get very far in it. No walkthroughs online either.
Unregistered version (linked) doesn't allow saving, but emulator savestates work. Registered version seems to be lost media - author said in some old interview that only 7 people ever registered! |
