On [[November 26]], [[1992]], an updated version of this game was released for the [[Acorn Archimedes]]; it featured a new loading screen and title screen along with several new sound effects and sprites. Furthermore, after each challenge the question "You are doing well! Do you want to carry on?" would appear on the screen, with the answers "Yes" and "No" below it, and the player had to select "Yes" in order to continue - and as this version was all on one disk, it did not ask the player to insert the disk for its second part after the fifth challenge's intro (it could also be transferred to the hard drive of an Archimedes and ran from there). Finally, at the end of the game, the question "Would you like to begin the adventure again?" would appear on the screen, again with the answers "Yes" and "No" below it, and the player had to select "No" if they wanted to get back to [[RISC OS]] (the latest version of which at the time was 3.10, but it ran on all subsequent versions until 3.71 in [[1997]]); on [[January 26]], [[2022]], an ADF file of this version was also uploaded to Archimedes Archive. | |||
