This game was the very first game I ever loaded when I first got my ZX Spectrum when I was young and this remake, I was sceptical at first.
Most remakes of old computer games are, to be honest, poor. Either the controls are not like they used to be, the graphics don't look like they're similar to the original game or the sounds aren't like it.
This one, however, is brilliant in every way apart from one. If you keep left or right pressed when you are skiing, Horace goes up on the skis but in this one, he doesn't go all the way, and as such, doesn't have the feeling that he's trying to turn sharp to nearly stop, like he did in the original, just carrying on going down.
Aside from that though, I have to applaud everyone involved in this game for making a fantastic version of this excellent Spectrum game.
Thank you for your lovely comments. My remakes have been somewhat hit and miss over the years (I'm trying to rectify this!) but I'm glad to see you enjoyed one of the better ones!
