I LOVED this game back in the mid-80's when I played it on a Commodore 64. Ed Hobbs 1984 game for Broderbund was wonderful, with clever puzzles, interesting platforming gameplay and actual thought required. When I saw it available on Steam, I was a little bit hesitant, because this is a forty-year old game, and I was wondering if it would hold up. The controls system takes some getting used to. The game was written for the C64's one button joystick, and the keyboard mapping is not intuitive at all, but largely, the gameplay does hold up. This was always a game more about the cleverness of the puzzles, and the interesting platform challenges than the graphics, and as such, it continues to be a lot of fun.
