Who coded this even? I want to blame creative materials, but I don't think they generally used Neil Crossly as a musician... whoever it is did noit put their name on it though.
Lets talk first about how unfinished this is - they didn't actually link the intros, they're all _seperate executables_, and the game instructs you to _reset and run load again_ after each part. Thankfully, this does mean that you can skip them if you ever want to play the game twice, so there's that, but seriously, how hard would it have been for hitting space to call reset even - you have to _actually reset the machine yourself_. Reset+load is also simple to do, but they did not even bother with reset.
I have to assume they ran up against a _hard_ deadline, and just handed in what they had - especially since these instructions are ONLY on the loading scroller for the title picture part (which would have been a loading screen on any actually properly mastered game).
I've honestly never seen anything quite like it... I'm super curious about this - I do have some vauge memory of an interview with the devs in either zzap or commodore format that suggested they didn't want to make the game this way at all, and proposed a simplified game based on the concept, but us-gold shot them down because it was important to them that screenshots looked like the arcade game....
And yes, this is all of the game that exists. Really.
