Quoting: GuestWow !impressive ! And available in PRG. Convenient.

I spoiled myself with the longplay. Real game with real puzzles and even IMHO good music by C64 standards.

Thank you , you made my day.

Yeah, it's such a well-made 'translation' of the original to 2D, both in terms of gameplay and the graphics.

Also, silly as this may sound, the homebrew scenes pertaining to several systems -- but most notably to the C64, IMHO -- are making me proud with their productive & creative twist on the current 'nostalgia' fad -- that is, they're coming up with new and genuinely interesting titles that look and play better than the official games in the systems' heyday. It really puts to shame the consumption-only nostalgia exploitation mode that the companies themselves are in.

Some sites to check out, for folks who are intrigued by this sort of thing:
