the first level spells "FRAK!" after level 3, it returns to the first level, but it's upside down. after that you get to play in mode2 (chunky) graphics, and then flashing black and white. used to love this game.

One of the first games I ever played, a real classic. The Electron version was limited to two colour screens, but this at the same time freed up memory to allow for extra levels. And then of course, there is the infamous 'rude' version. I play it nowadays on an emulator, but I'd love to see a Windows conversion.

The version on the electron also had a screen editor if i remember right, which was great fun. I also remember playing the Captain pugwash tune which sounded brilliant on the electron, i never knew it was possible!! Thanks for the memory's i am away for a little weep now.

Yes, I think somewhere along the way home computers lost their way. Loads of great games could fit in 32k ram, now we need gigs of the stuff. Must dig out my old beeb from storage. Thanks for putting up these vids too, brings back the memories. :)

The music is in the original Aardvark version but hidden is the Superior Software version, that has also been patched to allow it to run on the Master. Yep, those were the days when your computer started instantly and a decent game was easily less than 10k!

If you look at the source for the loading screen you'll find some code in there that isnt used. If you figure it out you can get it to play the captain pugwash theme music :) Friend and I found this so long ago. Those were the days :)

Even more amazing when you consider that the BBC Micro has no hardware sprite capabilities, unlike the Commodore 64. The level design like FRAK! is a nice touch, another classic game from Orlando who also brought us Arcadians and Firetrack.
