Should have used the ZX Spectrum version
Not only did it look better, it sounded better too. This EGA PC version is disappointing.

definitely belongs to GOG
I played the C64 version a lot back then and never knew about the DOS version until it was released here. It plays really well. Good for some casual playing when you don't have a lot of time for some deeper gameplay because this is basically a run and gun with battling a time-limit and the better you are the further you get. I would just love to see the other homecomputer ports to be included in this GOG release as well. Would be nice to have it all here in one pack.

Old school, just one big, hard stage
Once you know the whole game you can complete it in about fifteen minutes, but getting to know the game well enough to beat it could take months of regular play. It's typical of '80s home computer game concepts, just one stage albeit big and difficult, but if you give them a chance, some such games are really fun and satisfying even today. I enjoyed playing DOS Trantor through to the end and will probably play it again. I wrote a big summary of my Trantor experience, including the various other ports, on the Moby Games forum (I think the Spectrum and Amstrad games were the first releases). www.mobygames.com/forum/game/14668/thread/270685/from-the-old-80s-home-computer-school-of-games-with-just-one-big/
