Actually much better looking than I remember it. I was just a kid at the time though and to be fair, I probably played it in a constant state of frustration as I was rubbish at it.
The end was kind of the same in the arcade, the 'final' stage after destroying the bridge was just a challenge stage where you run around collecting little gold statues (in place of rescuing kids) until your lives run out or you get bored. I didn't know about that when I was younger until I completed the arcade version recently on MAME. So it was intentional that it was an endless stage you couldn't beat :p
I seem to recall on originally getting this that I missed the sound fx and voice fx of the arcade and the impossible last level. I seem to remember a decent 8-bit/MIDI rendition of the theme tune at the menu screen but not sure if getting mixed up with the arcade version - MAME has rather dampened my use of the Spectrum emulator when it comes to arcade games!
Great stuff ^_^ ps the level it starts on after the rope bridge is a whole new level and layout but with no exit even after rescuing all the kids! So poor Indy is stuck there forever... ;)
Arrgh my game used to ask for loading after that yellow level. There was more thinking it would be another hour to complete and its just a bridge. I could get to the level yellow in under 5 mins too!!
Good game but they could have put some colour in it. No excuses , Golden axe , Double dragon, Super kid & Rainbow islands all full of colour. That's why back in the day us Spectrum owners used to feel cheated, either 48k games 3 year's after the 128k came out. Imagine if Sony done that with the PlayStation 2 loads of games for the PS1 and a handful of PS2 games 3 year's after it's released. It wouldn't have got to PS3! No wonder the spectrum disappeared, it went to plus 3 with only a disk drive as a upgrade nothing to sort out the colour clash which had been about for 7 odd years before it's release!

A friend of mine had this and it took us ages to realise the you could whip across obstructions in certain places.
This game has very good feeling from the past times...

1 Kids? Who on earth wrote that in to the game?
It's easier to always use “kids” then check if a number is 1 and pick a word accordingly :P
Nice game
