-A brilliant Arcade Game turned into one of the most infamous [[Speccy Port]], often cited in CPCwiki as a prime exemple of all that is worst with such productions.

-This one particulary shows the dilemma : How can a monochromatic game still display 6 colours in Mode 1, yet being monochromatic...

-Well... It can and it does, yet there is no point doing it.

-==Speccy Port==
+The port was produced by [[Tiertex]].
-Black Tiger is quite infamous for being one of the laziest speccy port.
-And even more infamous because the speccy's original version is not even that good to begin with.
-*Graphics : the Amstrad version use unmodified Graphical Datas. the Sprites and tiles are stored in RAM in 1bit per pixel, sprites are also masked in 1 bit per pixel. the 1bpp datas are then turned into Mode1 2bit per pixel when they are to be displayed into the Video RAM area. Which is somewhat CPU intensive.
-*Also some Raster interrupt are used in order to get more than 4 colours displayed on the screen.
-But the main problem is that it is quite useless as the Game's window is still monocolour.
