Nice to see the Plus/4 - Version of this game.
But what is the difference between the C-16 and Plus/4 Version? Is the instruction the same as in the C-16 Cover?
The Plus/4-Version will run with 32 KB RAM ...

The Plus/4 version has better graphics. The scoreboard on the top will display text (STRIKE, etc.), while the C=16 version does not.

The only differences between the C16 and Plus4 covers (aside from the front) is on the side cover, where it says "This program runs on the Commodore 16", it just says Plus4 instead. Everything else is identical.

and like me, I sure most of us never knew a Plus4 version ever existed until now. 
Big thanks to Ulysses777 for hunting this one down. A rare gem indeed!

I found the Plus/4 Version at an E-Bay UK Auction from "birdcage" for only 50 Pence (0,50 Pound Sterling).
I have seen it first on a Big E-Bay UK Auction (Plus/4 with a Big Lot of Games) for 2 Month.

Finally managed to get the Plus/4 only release myself last week, and arrived yesterday. Paid £3 plus postage, so can't complain about that really (and did already have the C16 version.)
I do seem to recall around 1985 going to what was the former Commodore shop on Oxford Road in Manchester (later became a Spar, and the upstairs offices were also used by Software Creations in the late 1980s) and seeing that version on sale. It wasn't that easy to find, despite Imagine's parent Ocean being based in Manchester and literally down the road from where the former Commodore shop was. This was also before the great "fire sale" where most UK stores had the Plus/4 with the ten game pack for around £80-100, so not many at that time of release would have owned a Plus/4 either.
Still, nice to see it still around and just wish Imagine had used some form of Novaload instead of LOAD"",1,1 then SYS1536 for the blank screen loader...

Was it really 2005? 
I never did chase this up as the C16 version is/was great for what it was. A shame it was never re-released on The Hit Squad label as it might of come with NovaLoad like Green Beret later was.
