Hi, great that you did this, it would be nice to have a video of it. How long did it take?I don't plan on adding achievements, but I might reconsider it someday. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the video! I really appreciate such dedication to this game, I will add some bonus in the next update. I didn't make an updated PNG map because the layout is the same and only minor things have changed.
Nice game mod! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 07:00:46. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Excellent new version, well done. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New Amstrad CPC games, April-December 2024" video along with other new Amstrad CPC games. Hope you enjoy the video.
Dude, it's an amazing work! The game is now how I wanted it to be on the machine that made me discover the game.
Thanks a lot for it.
I'll make a suggestion, however: the blue background color you chose (2) makes the game more visible, but is it possible to have an option to get the original blue color (1)?
Your version :
Original version:
If you kept the same blue as in the lower part of the screen to avoid rasters and gain FPS, then forget the request.
Thanks Marskilla, glad you like it. I changed dark blue to light blue because I can't see black ninja on dark blue background and because this way it looks much closer to the original Speccy version.
Thanks, Xyphoe! As for now I don't plan to add new features. Btw your yt channel is great! I will try to join your stream, so I can answer questions if there are any.
OH YES! I forgot one thing! There's another 'bug' in the Amstrad version. The timer. I forgot all about it. The timer isn't set right, at least on the final mission (9) - it starts at 500 where as the Spectrum version starts at 999. And makes it impossible to complete. See here - https://www.youtube.com/live/-7gsPj-JjXM?si=Jaqw6HeuhresAkcf&t=4036 if it doesn't jump to right mark in the video, go to 1:07:16 where I talk about it and compare. UNLESS the Spectrum walkthrough I'm looking at... he cheated and adjusted the timer in the code using pokes ... in which case I apologise for wasting your time with this comment! LOL!
I do not consider it a `bug`, it even makes more sense than 999s in the speccy version, because each mission is harder than the previous one and has less time. I even added a secret mission 10 to speccy128k version which is mission 9 with 500s time limit. It is completable if visiting a secret room and taking 2 tape pieces from a special stash. Also I wanted all the missions to remain as they were in the original so that the results/records would be comparable. Actually the game video on this page shows such a walkthrough. It is hard but doable.
Agreed it's doable BUT ONLY if you visit the secret room for invincibility which I always felt was 'cheating' and takes all the skill (and fun) away, because you go there fairly early then zip through all the later bits untouched...

you found the video and noticed i missed one! ^_^
sooooo i made a new video and a (very) little path to complete the game. With basic settings there is 235 left on the timer and approx 22 min
PS : i wonder if you already have done a PNG of the full map with the new graphics?
thanks

Added kind of "achievement" - bleep & $10k bonus. Not sure when the next version will be released, but I can send you beta if you want.
oh great! i will be glad to run this mission again ^_^
You can do it without invincibility:)
ah! ah! Great! Hours of MORE saboteur!
Yeah, this game is eternal :)
I did it in Speccy version :)
OMG just played it, this is the way it had to be in 1987
Thank you a lot m8 !

Many many thanks ! You rule. 👍
Great work! Are there any more changes to come? I might feature this on my weekly 'Amstream' (Amstrad live stream) this Friday on my YouTube. Thanks!
Thanks, Xyphoe! As for now I don't plan to add new features. Btw your yt channel is great! I will try to join your stream, so I can answer questions if there are any.
