Game Author comment

I wrote this game in 6502 assembler language on a piece of paper - without any software tools - at the age of 11 / 12. I sold it when I was 13 for ~£300 and had my picture on the front page of the Huddersfield Examiner. Interceptor Micros (if I remember correctly) - the publisher - gave me an assembler cartridge after they bought it.

I hadn't played the game for 23 years until I downloaded the emulator and rom tonight. It's still as hot as I remember.
