played it on zx spectrum, a LOT great game. computer hide and seek. always on the move, trying to stay ahead of the sentinel or it's sentries.

what amused me at the time was that there are 10,000 levels loaded in from tape and within a few weeks of it being released magazines had accumulated codes for all of them from readers playing at home iirc. pre internet that was a lot of information gathering.

I played it on the speccy too. It looked incredible when you read that it had 10000 levels. And also recalled that after a month or so all the codes were appearing on the magazines at the time. Beautiful absorbing game.

  The Wikipedia article states, “The Sentinel has no ending sequence; upon completion of the last level, the player is looped back to level 1. When questioned about this, Crammond said he never thought anyone would go so far as to finish the game”
  That’s a fun reward!
