Summary
The game consists of a number of levels through which the player had to navigate to collect rings and then make it safely to an exit. A team of demons attempt to block the player's path. Contact with a demon results in instant death, and one or more scrolling staircases further hamper the player's progress.
BBC Micro port
Following success in the C64 market, Euro-Byte commissioned a port of the game to the BBC Micro. However, no source code was available as the game had been coded in 6502 assembler directly into the C64's monitor program. The game was re-written from scratch. Euro-Byte subsequently commissioned a version for the Acorn Electron, but this was never released.
