Deceptitran fixes v1.0 - wikia_unspam#1 -

New page

This game was almost certainly released on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum (aka the Timex TS-2068 in the States) as well as the C64. (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0005380). Same developer and publisher, and the instructions appear to be the same, though this still doesn't guarantee the game is totally identical. I'll try and get some time to compare the two later.

This is totally relevant to UK and European Transfans, where the Spectrum was at least as popular as the C64.
