 Well, it seems to work just Dandy on a 68010 (my friend has one, and we
played the thing so much, I think we can get to level 30 or so) I have
an Amiga 2500 with an 020... i'll try the game on that and let you know
further if it works on that or not.

 Once you get to the upper levels, you'll find that the games difficulty
level increases greatly...
