I've played the Head Over Heels one before. It was just as good as I remembered. Remarkably advanced for the time.

It doesn't have the swap/jump cheat at the beginning, which would be nice. One of the best speccy games ever. How they packed it into 48k is beyond me.

It's mostly down to the fact that it's largely monochrome. 2bits per pixel at 256x192 resolution takes up a lot less memory than even a basic VGA screen at 8bpp. But yeah, it was incredibly advanced.
