Note
Gagnant (/ɡaɲɑ̃/) is a French word that means "winner" or "winning."
The original release of the game is broken and has only one ending, which calls the player a loser regardless of how they play. The official instructions claim that reaching the exit after collecting 10 pyramids (also known as Points) will unlock the good ending, but this never happens. The game actually has 11 pyramids, but collecting the 11th has no effect.
In July 2026, the MSX user Lars The 18Th fixed the game so that it gives the player the good ending when they complete it with 10 or 11 pyramids. As an added bonus, a "HI-SCORE!" message is also displayed when the player finishes with a score of more than 5,000.
