Maybe not a top-10 game, but It's one of those games that surprisingly I like it!

Sometimes Fight, sometimes imagination to solve puzzles, simple graphics but cool.

As for negative points, sound and music.

Your opinions?

    I vaguely remember having played it long ago. I'm going to give it a go this aftenoon.

    Thanks for the warning :)

    A mate from me had it at school years.. we never played it with sense of what to do.

    Ive loaded now and it plays very friendly and the feel is very sympathic.

    I think I will read the intructions carefully to play it again. =)

    I never played it really because I got my Spectrum at '89 and the choice of excellent games put this into shadow... But I remember this was a common game played on Atari 800 computers...

    I used to play this loads as a kid. I remember being completely lost in the underground section of the game though and thus was never able to actually finish it.

    Played the CPC version around 1985/1986 I think, very similar to the Speccy version though. Found it quite intriguing because of the strange way it played.

    I had it on atari 800 xl , tape.. and also c64

    which well it was better.. errm there are 2 versions on atari or c64 version (I forget which)

    the disk 1 has more puzzle..

    I prefer it on atari, nice game though , but infuriating if you don't like puzzles

    Zorro is my favourite game. Speccy version is the best. Atari version has few colours.

    I only played it in the emulation era.

    And I was not impressed, neither by its appearance nor by its gameplay. A mediocre title in my opinion.

    Well, it's quite a famous game, but probably more famous in the world of Atari and Commodore. Still I never played it more than a minute or two.

    The Spectrum version graphics quality is mediocre and probably this is what puts me off. Maybe one day I'll rediscover this game ;)

    but that opinion would make me ask 1 question.. how many of the in game puzzles did you solve ? if none, then that might explain your answer.

    and because of the gfx / more colour on atari / 64.. i guess it was slightly easier to play

    I remember seeing it back in the day and thinking it looked like a poor man's Bruce Lee.

    I might have seen it back in the day, don't remember really. But I certainly enjoyed the RZX of it icon14.gif

    I played the game often. It was not one of my favourites, but I like it still.

    One of my favs! I played this game when I was 5. I think this game deserve IOS/Android remake.

    I have played the game first time on Atari, at cousins when it came out. I have never managed to get it on the tape during my ZX times. Finally I have finished it a month ago, on DS emu during one of my periodic plays in the toilet. I like the gfx and I don't really think it is worse than in Bruce Lee. It has similar gameplay as BL but with the addition of adventure parts like using objects. I could say that it has some elements of espionage

    Oooh, not nice at all. It feels like a Sir Fred wannabe but written in basic.

    Exactly my thought when I bought the game on budget all those years ago.

    Was slightly peplexed by some puzzles at the time and found it harder than Bruce Lee (which I loved). However, did find myself loading it up a lot to play - so did find it rather enjoyable if basic looking
