Switchblade is one of the rare PLUS Cartridge game to remain in Mode1 (perhaps the only one indeed).

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 game's window instead.
