Shamus

2 versions exist. The original version (by Synapse) is incompatible with the XL/XE computers (locks up at title screen), but if you hold down either START or SELECT while booting, it will skip the title screen, making it playable.  The re-release (by Synsoft) is fully compatible.

The most lives you can have in reserve is 21 (picture #1).

The different-colored levels are (in order of appearance) black, blue, green, and red.  There’s a total of 127 rooms.  Pictures #1 and #2 are of the ending.

BUG: If you stand as close to the left edge of an opening without leaving the screen, enemies won't be able to shoot or touch you (picture #3); the only enemy that can kill you is the Shadow {Greg Bendokus}
