Remarks
     Simon recalls: "This was a conversion of an existing C64 game. However in those days conversion meant complete rewrite. Also with the difference between the 2 systems it had a pretty different feel. I was pretty much learning as I went along and at this point I had learned to synchronize the drawing of the graphics to the screen refresh which meant there were none of the flickers associated with my previous games."
