We also got some excellent (New Zealand Story) and some
above average (Strider, Ghouls' n' Ghosts) arcade conversions
and also some rather good original titles (Rick Dangerous) during
that year.

I just checked some screenshots of the C64 version - is it my

above them crumbles.

Where do you need radar - for the flying dragons?  :)
