-
- (picking nits further) It depends how you define port. The game might have
- been written for some other computer originally, but the IIGS version
- is a nearly direct port from the Nintendo code, which
- Bill wrote.
-
- Adding my 2 cents: It is a great game. I got a bad disk so haven't
- seen the IIGS version yet, but the IBM VGA version is nice, if
- a bit lacking in sound. The IBM version has a very annoying
- codewheel protection (must look stuff up twice) and the IIGS
- has none. :)
