Head over Heels PC-remake

Oh boy, this we've been all waiting for, haven't we! 
Head over Heels was and is a great, great, great isometric adventure/puzzle game from the 8-bit era of home computing. Now it's also available for PC/Windows sytems! And not just through emulator software; this is a stand-alone version with updated graphics -- and (still) looks absolutely cute!
To download the new version, visit: http://retrospec.sgn.net/games/hoh/ (do read the short manual for gameplay information, you're going need it, trust me)
For info on earlier 8-bit/16-bit versions, check: http://usuarios.lycos.es/hoh2/uk/original_game.htm (this is part of a website dedicated to a sequel)
I remember playing the MSX version 15 years or so ago -- and, wow, the nostalgia rush I got from visiting the market and the enigmatic "sofa-cushion passage" room for the first time in over a decade!
So, at the moment I've finished 24% of the game. The possibility to save game truly rocks!
