The Authors Original Game Story!
Patrick Strassen has kindly scanned a copy of his original game information notes he sent to Mastertronic in 1986. You'll be astonished how much Mastertronic changed the real story!



Final
The game "ends" with a dead-ending narrow street.


Load this .FRE file as snapshot in YAPE emulator.

Watch the powerball actually sail past the impassable narrow street only to
be placed on a deadly garbage filled screen which follows straight after it.
