brilliant game, but for some reason I find the buzzing noise when you catch a parachutist really annoying :(

I must admit, as soon as I play a G&W I'm whisked straight back to being 8 years old and thinking that I held the future in my hands :-)

This is a fantastic little game! Really evokes memories of the Game & Watch games from the 80's. Thanks for taking the time to develop and share this game. :D

This is my first G&W game I got. Really nice to see on the Spectrum!

This might be the beginning of a G&W conversion series... why not? :)

This wouldn’t be the first G&W game converted to the Spectrum. By a long shot.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.
