About this game

Double Take is an action shoot-'em-up released in 1986 for Commodore 64, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and ZX Spectrum.

You play as a flying professor exploring rooms across two parallel universes: the “good” and “bad” versions, also described as modern and ancient. Items have been swapped between these mirror worlds, and you must return them to their correct places to restore balance while shooting aliens. The game culminates in a battle against a large alien end monster.
