Mimo's Quest

The Amstrad Plus cartridge version of the game benefits from some of the features of the Plus machines. An extended colour palette enables a smooth transition between daytime and nighttime. The extended memory on the cartridge also enables extra sprite graphics and routines to be encoded in the game. For instance, there is a simple card game of higher or lower that can be played in the saloon. There is room for additional quests, characters and storylines, which will be added to when the 64k version of the game has been completed.

The Plus machines also have the ability to use hardware sprites. I have not used these in the game, as I find their smoothness, high resolution and extra colours detracts from the unique graphic style created by the hardware limitations of the original CPC machines.
