I'll definitely draw it out. There will be reverse engineering 2. I remember there was a lot of emotion back then because I didn't know how CPC worked inside. Each test involved the fear of damage. 

I always have the fear of damage when working with the innards of my CPCs - I had to test my CPC adapter for my greaseweazle (i'd been putting it off for ages) and I was scared of blowing up the disk drive every second of operation - I know what i'm doing now, so there's less fear, but it's *always* there.

I vaguely remember that it was probably an LS132. I will check.

Is the right button working as well?

of course yes! Display window is simple to show

this is really quite impressive!
would it be possible to draw up a circuit diagram so folks could try to figure out what the mystery chip is? I'm pretty sure a few people would love to construct their own (me included)

Can you insert jump-kick movements as in the Spectrum version?

Jump-kick was originally in the CPC version

Wow that's a big difference!
What were the main optimisations that led to the speed-up?

I'll try to make one this week. U.S. Gold have way worse loading screens. This one is not that bad.

It's nor the worst, but it is absolutely awful considering what the CPC is capable of 😀

Cracked the speed issue. Next stop, collision detection and death animations. I also need to look at ensuring things all happen at a consistent pace, and there's no slowdown or speedup depending on what is happening on screen.

None of them works. All error 404.

Seems, that for some people it's too hard to understand the puzzle...
