Congrats again. What intrigues me the most, is the choice of different graphic style for the title logo, along the three versions which potentially can produce almost the same charset graphics.

I'm afraid the reason behind it might not be as intriguing/interesting as you expect. The C64 version uses multi-colour text mode for the logo. Since Atari does not have this mode (at 320x192 it is B/W anyway), and does not support more than 128 user-defined tiles, I opted for a simpler logo. 

To my knowledge Plus/4 does not have multi-colour text mode either (only in bitmap mode; please correct me if I'm wrong), so I just went with the Atari version and  a simple colour gradient.

Oh no no, I didn't intend to say that one logo is better than the other, love'em all. I only noticed this choice and commented it. Anyway, of course the Plus/4 have MC text mode ($FF07, bit4), as you can see in the majority of the games demos and so on, and it works exactly like on C64.

Not at all, I understood what you meant. 

So it was a lost opportunity with the Plus/4 logo then. I could have used C64's; just needed to fix up the colour map. Next game!
