Bug
The game was originally written for the C64, which has Commodore BASIC V2.0. In that version, the variables "DS" and "DS$" are not reserved, they can be freely used.

However, in Commodore BASIC V3.5, those two variable names are reserved: they contain Disk Status (code) and the Disk Status string, respectively. They cannot be assigned to.

The game's code unfortunately uses these two variables extensively. Therefore, to make the game work, those two variables must be replaced in all of these lines (to - for example - PS and PS$):
328, 330, 332, 334, 336
522
