Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?
I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.
Definitely the CPC version, four colour hires. There was never a c64 release of this game, although it was ported to the other 6502 machines, BBC and Atari.

so… this is either the C64 (colours are wrong for the C64) or the Amstrad (gets my vote).

The colouring of the screen shot means it has to be one of the other versions (Amstrad version looks to be the one)
