Although often listed with a 1985 release date, the game was originally released for the ZX Spectrum, as a (presumably text-only) adventure in 1984; there are adverts for the game from September 1984 and a review of the game in a December 1984 issue of Popular Computing Weekly. This version is missing from the archives.The graphical edition, using The Illustrator, was released later.
An unofficial port to the BBC Micro was created by Andy Ford in 2012.

Actually decent. Objects are ordinary, but due to the size of the protagonist they have unusual uses. The vocabulary is slightly non-standard and we have the odd arbitrary death, but the scenario is original and the puzzle design reasonable.
