@JimmyCoupe
Yeah the C16 version would be challenging, but right after your post I started to do some calculations. and
the game has 100 screens (1+3+5+7.....+19) according to maps found on internet.
the screens look like they utilise only few chars (tiles) and look like they can be easily packed. I used Byteboozer from HCL previously for private project, and it has great results. but I think even RLE compression could give good results of packing the levels into RAM. and RLE is faster (I guess) and maybe even usable for this kind of game screens to be decompressed hen changing from screen to screen.
I have to do real tests now that involve code (depacker) and game map tests...
will get back to you - sometime soon I hope.
