Nice. Never played it on a C64... but is it that hard that even developers gave it depressed scoring?  :P

It's a famously broken game. 

To the point that the developers just ended up making the time limit on one of the levels too short on purpose, so that you could never make it onto the next one (which was hopelessly corrupted). 

It has been fixed since by the community, but I get the feeling the developers were just absolutely sick of it, hence the high score table. In fairness, at the time they probably had no idea it was going to be one of the biggest 8-bit games of all time or they might have asked for longer to fix it.
