Saboteur 2 - An enhanced mod by thealfest for the Amstrad CPC

Now here's a blast from the past and a game that I remember as being one of the best action-adventure games I had ever played on the Amstrad CPC 464. It's 'Saboteur II' developed by Clive Townsend and released by Durell Software in 1987, the same publishers behind the incredible dragon flying 'Thanatos'. This fine game was released for many platforms such as the CPC, ZX Spectrum and C64, and featured a female protagonist who must break into a high-security compound, fight off guards, avoid pumas and alter the course of a nuclear ballistic missile and then escape on a motorbike. 

But the news of today is this all time classic game of which we have featured countless times in the past, has recently been updated for the Amstrad CPC with an enhanced beta mod by thealfest. As in the words of the website. "I am a big fan of the original 1987 Saboteur 2 for ZX Spectrum by Clive Townsend. This is my attempt to make this old classic more enjoyable but still very close to the original. The entire game code was rewritten with performance and playability as the highest priorities".

Changes:

• Bugfixes
• Performance optimizations and adjustable game speed
• Double buffering with vsync (with limitations)
• Added some visual elements from 2019 remake
• Added new sound effects
• Added game pause
• Improved game balance
• And more...

Also on the topic of Saboteur 2, if you don't have an Amstrad CPC but a ZX Spectrum however. It might also be worth checking out the enhanced 48k mod from earlier this year which has bugfixes, adjustable speed, improved game balance, additional graphics, sounds and more.
