@Luigi Ruffolo Didn't know there were TAP files for C64. Don't think I got any device that would load those :-(

Yes, lol, I know, it's obviously not a problem. Almost every submission on every site is done this way. I was only trying to put down a more detailed review than the usual "yes", lol. Cracked versions come with trainers, etc., so, for proper adjudication, gameplay should be almost entirely watched to understand if there's something "odd" somewhere. Anyway, .tap files come from original source (many can be found here, for example https://archive.org/details/ultimatetapearchive), but they require a lot to be loaded, I know. I guess loading time could be reduced thanks to modern cartridges and all. On an emulator, it's not that simple, 'cause it often crashes if you try to load those files in warp mode.

@Luigi Ruffolo You won't find many C64 games that aren't cracked when not coming from original source. They made a big deal about these cracks on the C64 scene, even though most of them probably weren't hard to crack, and with a lot of them the crack is just to get them from tape to disk :-)

Yeah, the last screen seems hard to beat. Real hardware is shown in the last screenshot, along with the identification paper. It should be enough for this site standards. Sadly, I'm not familiar with this game but there shouldn't be substantial game options to show. It's a cracked version but no anomalies spotted in the gameplay. The final score is also good. Congratulations and a yes from me.

@GTi It's a fun game, wonder why no one released it on the Spectrum?

That's 2x my limit. It gets too difficult for me around the 40k. Still a great puzzler game.

Final score picture taken in paused mode on laptop as the game jumps to main menu before I could make picture, as I had to stop video recording first. Final score can also be seen in video at 22:00.

A once in a lifetime game of Drelbs for me. Doubt I'll ever beat this. Round 8 is crazy.
