	NOTE from Arnoldemu: I had implemented most of the UI (title screen, map screen, information screen, load level screen, and password screen). I had implemented most of the game logic (collection of gems, crown, teleporters, eggs cracking, lizard enemies, fuzzball enemies). There are bugs because it was never completed. The game matches the BBC screen size and uses Amstrad's hardware scrolling and double buffering. My version could load the BBC data files directly if they were converted to binary files on the CPC. The graphics from the level files are converted into a form the CPC can display, so in theory any level designed for the BBC will work with this version. I respect the views of Superior Software, this is why it remains unreleased.
