Pretty much unknown game, probably with reason.
Atari game databases show only demo version of game.
I got image of full game at Atari Forum, thanx to Brume.

And problems just continued - I say it because there was
problem with Automation release of demo version - they
were not aware that it is just demo (or just decided to not
mention it). Then it works not. Why ? Because they forgot
to test it after packing main exec. of game. It just works not
because expects address registers a0-a4 to be 0 at start.
Rare case, but that's why tests are needed.
Demo works with higher TOS versions too - complete
and good one is on ST Vision 398.

Full version is available on Revolution crew release.
And it seems that it is older version than demo, because
works only with TOS 1.00 . Joystick reading code is poor.
But there are other problems - like some bad code at reading
of file sprite.pc1  - don't know is it in original too, or gone
corrupted at cracker. I fixed it because was obvious what must
go there. Fixed joystick read for all TOS versions.
And  of course added trainer.

Played first 2 levels little. Hopefully there will be no more
errors. But will be sure when (someone) finishes game -
- it has final goal, as I see.

Requirements:  Atari ST(E). 512KB RAM.
Floppy drive or emulator. 
Hard disk version comes tomorrow. It is
done, just need testing yet.
