But I have never played it.

Have I missed something ?

Is it still a worth gaming experience ?

What was the goal of the game ?

Probably best moved to the "Playing Old Games" section but...

Yes... grab a C64 emu (CCS or Vice), find a d64 of the game and get playing...

I had the tape version of that

I wonder if the (original) disk version was a multi disk set :?

Dr. M - yep, it was two sides. I've only seen one crack that squeezed it into 1 :P

I never really got into TLN. I could appreciate the technical beauty of it, but could never really zone with it... :?

It was a ba' hair too linear for my liking, although it gave you the imprsession that it was wide open, free to explore, spaces, it was actually very 2d, just like a platformer turned 45 deg.

Mind you i didnt play it much and am probably talking a lot of bollocks.

Try Last Ninja 2 first. :) Best one. They don't make them like that anymore.
