Have added the screenshots (640x512 in jpg format) as a separate .zip file, just for those who wish to have their own copies of them to hand.

I wanted to show the differences of this vs the original with one combi pic of the first cavern. I do realise more is present however it does visually demonstrate some of the excellent work that went into this:

 

Left : Original 1984 Release

Right : Updated 2021 Release

 

Immediate visual changes:

Air bar hoziontal to match most other variants.

Sane start frame for M.W

Sane start position for horizontal guardian

Status bar in a suitable colour

Playing area expanded horizontally and moved down a little bit the screen to match (afaik) most other variants.

Colours changed to match as close as reasonably possible the ZX variant. This is quite interesting as you've managed to use a few more colours than normally possible ie status bar is white.
