Hello

back to this old game. With recent ACIA/IKBD, it seems I now have better 
results.

Still the game has different behaviour depending on the TOS :
 - TOS 1.02 and 1.62 are working (the game doesn't start immediatly, 
you have the "press the fire button" message)
 - TOS 1.04 : game starts immediatly and neither keyboard nor joystick 
are reacting properly (the wizard moves to the right automatically)

I see the same results with the same TOS under Steem, so unless both 
Hatari and Steem are wrong, I think there's a bug in the game when used 
with TOS 1.04.

In STE mode, with TOS 1.62, the game works now.
But note that the keyboard mode seems buggy as you can't move and jump 
at the same time. The joystick mode works much better.

I don't have an STF with TOS 1.04, neither an STE, so I can't confirm 
this on a real machine. But so far, I think emulation is correct now and 
the game has some bugs.
