This is defintiely one of the top Wiz games. Very fun, dungeon crawler meets bullet hell

So, did anyone manage to finish the game (ever)?

I'm currently at 15%

This is really a nice game and well suited for a handheld. You can always clear a couple of rooms whenever you got some minutes to spare

I finished the original PC version when it was first released, does that count..?

Could those responsible please credit the music artists?
Using music created within the mod/demo scene years ago without permission is one thing, but at the very least they should be each credited.

Otherwise, it's an interesting game.

I am not sure who the music artists would be as the original game site/readme does not mention them.

ct_boss.mod and cv_boss.mod are from the Zeux series of games released with MegaZeux (from Catacombs of Zeux and Caverns of Zeux respectively). They were composed by Alexis Janson. Caverns was the game MZX was originally distributed with, so a lot of really bad games from a really long time ago ripped off its music. These days using the music is kind of an in-joke (especially if used outside of an MZX game) or a symbol representing MZX culture.

Its usage here goes along with the weird MZX community in-jokes presented in the "real" ending sequence.

Most of the other mods were probably freely distributed on Mod Archive or other public sites, not ripped from Amiga demos.
