Switchblade on Cartridge is a slightly PLUS enhanced version of the CPC version.
Considered decent and good by most Amstrad fans.

== Implementation details and use of Plus hardware ==
* Mode 1 is used throughout
* Multiple plus raster interrupts are used to make the shading in the sky
* Plus sprites are used for the Gremlin logo on the title screen (this actually overlays a smaller, software sprite Gremlin logo), and for extra colours and scenery in the game.
(Sprites are x2 in X and x1 in Y, which give a mode 1 equivalent pixel size)
* Plus screen split is not used
* Plus pixel by pixel hardware scroll is used.
* Plus DMA is not used
The game engine seems to be re-used for [[Striker in the Crypts of Trogan]]/[[Stryker and the Crypts of Trogan]] as the same programmer did both games.
