Nevertheless, if the poorness of the controls for one conversion of the game could be overlooked, a rather enjoyable exploration game could be found. And that, perhaps, is one of the biggest reasons why the controls are lamented to such extent, because there is quite a fun game buried underneath. After [[Micro Graphic Image]] published the original Atari version, [[Brøderbund Software]] bought the rights to the game and took over distribution of the original version, as well as developing an identical version for the [[Commodore 64/128]]. In [[1985]], [[Irem]] thought it would make a great arcade game, so they bought the rights to convert it and distribute it in Japan. They are ultimately the ones responsible for the failed [[NES]] port as well as an [[MSX]] conversion (which contains mainly of the same faults). Irem concocted a sequel to the arcade game, which played a lot like the first, but in new locations. A sequel was also developed for the [[NES|Famicom]], which had a selection of players to choose from, and differed from the original quite drastically. | Nevertheless, if the poorness of the controls for one conversion of the game could be overlooked, a rather enjoyable exploration game could be found.
