The original game was designed by Simon Smith in 1982.
An obvious Robotron clone, it features simple coloured sprites and no extra animation or backgrounds.
Actually works really well. Each character has its own set of rules which affects the gameplay. For instance, the spider has to be shot 3 times.
In 1984, licensed to Microdeal and renamed Arena 3000.
Ported poorly to Spectrum. C64 port uses double joysticks which is cool but not necessarily better.
