Sorry for the flickering in the Atari version... it runs on 60Hz...
I used to play this quite a lot an the Amiga. It's an interesting concept. You have sort of a time limit... two time limits actually in levels that have the rising water. Not as unfair or annoying as in other games, but it keeps you moving.
The Atari version is surprisingly good. They found a very clever way to scroll. Vertical it's like the Amiga, horizontal scrolling is triggered when you reach the border of the screen. It doesn't flip, it actually scrolls. And you can continue playing while it scrolls.
