Description

This game's graphics and sound a pretty amazing for a 1983 VCS game. It approaches Colecovision or Intellivision quality. Animated objects all over the background. A nice to day-night transition. A moving star field. Flowers blowing in the wind. This game also is one of the few to use every pixel of the VCS' maximum resolution. The gameplay isn't that bad either. Seems everybody was impressed with this game, so it was pirated all over the world. Except in the USA, where it was virtually unheard of until many years after the 2600 was discontinued. Bit Corporation did apparently publish at least one known cartridge in the US.
