Switchblade on Cartridge is a slightly PLUS enhanced version of the CPC version.
 
Considered decent and good by most Amstrad fans.
 
 
== Cover ==
You can download in CPR for use in emulators and BIN from CPCmania ( See the links ).
==Implementation details and use of Plus Featureshardware ==
Switchblade * Mode 1 is one of the rare PLUS Cartridge game used throughout* Multiple plus raster interrupts are used to remain make the shading in Mode1 the sky * Plus sprites are used for the Gremlin logo on the title screen (perhaps this actually overlays a smaller, software sprite Gremlin logo), and for extra colours and scenery in the only one indeedgame.(Sprites are x2 in X and x1 in Y, which give a mode 1 equivalent pixel size)* Plus screen split is not used* Plus pixel by pixel hardware scroll is used.* Plus DMA is not used
Yet The game engine seems to be re-used for [[Striker in the PLUS extra features were quite decently inplemented. *Addition Crypts of Raster colour changes for Trogan]]/[[Stryker and the sky (see pictures) to get a sweet Red gradiant. *Hardwired sprites used to just add extra colours Crypts of Trogan]] as background tilesthe same programmer did both games.
