ALTER EGO — SAM COUPÉ

Original game: Denis Grachev / RetroSouls.
Conversion: 2026 by Outsoftware using ChatGPT & Codex.

Requires a 512 KB SAM Coupé, or SimCoupe configured with 512 KB.
Insert Alter_Ego_SAM.mgt in drive 1 and boot the disk with F9.
The original loading artwork appears with adapted music.
SPACE skips the introduction; press SPACE again at the title to start.

KEYBOARD
O / P: left / right.
Q / A: climb up / down ladders.
SPACE: swap with your alter ego while swaps remain.
R: restart the current level, using one life.
Movement and swaps are animated: allow the action to finish.

EDITABLE BASIC LOADER
During loading, before the game starts, BREAK interrupts BASIC
(ESC in SimCoupe). LIST displays the program. For a harmless edit, enter
2 REM SAM
then RUN to reload and start the game from disk.
Addresses in lines 80/100/120: START 442368, DATA 212992, CALL 442368.
The loader manages these addresses automatically.

VERIFICATION SCOPE
Verified in SimCoupe: loading, original artwork, BREAK/LIST/edit/RUN, movement,
ladders, swaps, all first-level collectibles, entry to level two, and R restart
with one life lost and return to gameplay.
The complete campaign and physical hardware have not been verified.
Music and effects are adapted to SAA1099: timbre, noise and some very short
effects differ from the original Spectrum sound.
