I never played this game till today (Wanted for ages, but for some silly reason I never searches for the speccy conversion of it...)

Unforgiving and adictive litle bugger isn't it?

    how faithful a conversion is it? i suppose that the fact that I'm playing with "OPQA" ruins part of the fun of the 2 sticks in the arcade

    Just played it. Nice conversion but firing all the time is a pain i actually want to save the people before blasting everything :)

    It is a great version, the only fault being, as you say, that you can't play it with two sticks (well, maybe you can, with a Kempston joystick, and a Cursor or Interface II joystick at the same time - does the game support this?) but that's to be expected on the 8 bit machines, and I think that if this game was released back in the day it would have been very popular. Does anyone know why it was never released?
