version. I doubt it would stand up well against modern classics though;
I usually end up disappointed when I try to revisit 8-bit games with an
emulator. Some of them work OK when updated though, eg the PC version of
Repton 2, but that would be fairly useless without the save game
feature. Their Ravenskull looks quite good too, but I've only played the
demo. Apparently they're working on Stryker's Run. I hope they do
Codename Droid one day.
