Just had a look and Zythum, by Mirrorsoft is missing English .txt instructions in case anyone has them.
I believe I own Zythum cassette. I'll try to type in the instructions during the coming weekend.

Great! Try (if possible) also to scan the inlay. The one available here doesn't include the spine and back side.

I think Zythum, like Fred, deserves an appreciation day in this forum! :mrgreen:

I always heard a lot about this game but for the C64, played it for a while yesterday after seeing this post. It's very cool, like an 80s WarioWare :lol:

Hehe.

I just checked and Cruelman reviewed it on Spectrum 2.0 back in 2015, it ended on something of a cliffhanger:

I have been playing Zythum as it happens (didn't manage Fred). Second level so far. It's pretty good if you give it a chance. I'm glad they included smartbombs, as those 'back attack' games can be annoying.

The instructions suggest it's basically a quest for beer.

I played Zythum, for about 2 minutes, failed miserably and then decided the play Marauder by Hewson instead 👍
