I really admired the technical aspects of this game. The isometric rendering was pretty impressive actually. It inspired me to create my own technical demo to prove I had the technical know to do this type of thing. My version ended up being better.... it could handle 4 colour mode and was faster than this game. Shame I never took it beyond a demo.

Most elaborate Pause mode I've ever seen in an 8-bit game. Provided you're in PAL not NTSC You get a 128-color kaleidoscope and a detailed rendition of J.S.Bach "Invention no.8".

Contrary to the instructions, use the FIRE button to pick up or use objects, not the "P" key.
