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 Featureshardware ==
Switchblade * Mode 1 is one of the rare PLUS Cartridge game used throughout* Multiple plus raster interrupts are used to remain make the shading in Mode1 the sky * Plus sprites are used for the Gremlin logo on the title screen (perhaps this actually overlays a smaller, software sprite Gremlin logo), and for extra colours and scenery in the only one indeedgame.(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
Yet the PLUS extra features were quite decently inplemented. *Addition of Raster colour changes for the sky (see pictures) to get a sweet Red gradiant. *Hardwired sprites used to just add extra colours as background tiles. While raster colour changes were already implemented on CPC version to colour the HUD, they were used on cartridge version for the The game's window instead, a quite uncommon feature in an Amstrad Game. The Games engine seems to be re-used for [[Striker in the Crypts of Trogan]]/[[Stryker and the Crypts of Trogan]] (yes, this one has 2 pages...lol) as the same guy programmer did both games.
