This was my favourite game every back in the day... Even now I think it would be in my top 5 games of all time. I have only just found out about this remake, and am so happy I may explode. So tempting to leave work right now to go home and play it... :brain:

We don't host the orginal, but you can download the remake at our sister site, Abandonia Reloaded (www.reloaded.org).

retrospec is where they've remade all the old classics from the speccy, you can download them for free at the site they also have their own forums too

Hey all !

Glad you like the game. I am the programmer... so i can answer a few questions raised here.
Yes - the game plays ALMOST exactly as the original. Because the frame rate is higher (60 fps instead of 25) and the resolution is 4 times the original the jumping is a bit different - but not that much. It is about the same all in all. If we made it 25 fps and high-res it would be REALLY bad And just interpolating the jumps looked very bad too. So we had to make them both look good and work as close to the original as possible.

Also I decided to not put the door frames INTO the walls, since it livens up the rooms - they are not perfectly square now and so they look more "alive". This means that some of the puzzles are a little bit different (not much though) and some of the rooms aren't so tough as in the original. But overall it is about the same. It was just a little difference, but not everyone likes it. Sorry to all of those
Then there is the last guardian of the last crown - this time he can't be doughnouted, so that room is VERY tough ;-) It is one of the last rooms.

The game is all there though, the same as ZX, CPC, etc. versions (C64 and Amiga were a bit different though).

Best regards,
Tomaz
