But this game is for a very quick C64. Before you can play the game you need to upgrade your C64. What do you need.... a C64, monitor, joysticks, heavy-duty power supply, 3,5" floppydrive or a CMD harddisk, a CMD SuperCPU @ 20 MHz and a CMD SuperRAM card with 4 MB of memory. But then you will have a great game.
