I remember clearly when I bought Tomcat in my prefer shop in Salerno, Italy (a very nice shop close to the seashore):"Hey but that airplane is a real sprite!". I was a bit disappointed, because it was quite easy to finish and there were 2 levels only.
In Italy, there was no stable laws to protect new media copyrights, and we used to buy certain hacked collection sold in the newsstands. But for stuff deserving it, like that, I would prefer to buy an original copy.
Nowadays I see the graphics had been taken from the C64 version, but with a single palette which has to work for all the level, and forcing blue and brown let the game visual loose the nice metallic look of the c64 one.
I was wondering: mh, that intro screen with hiscore does nothing in particular, what about a little TEDsound 80's yankee-ish jingle? :)
