Original Rating

Crash 90%

Review:

A criminally low score awarded by Crash. Only 90% for one of the finest arcade conversions to hit the Spectrum and possibly the greatest two player arcade game to boot! The graphics look small nowadays but other than this it still holds up well against products being released over a decade later.

Two player mode is best as some of the later levels are tricky with only one player. The 16-bit versions were equally as good and the Amiga version featured some of the nicest computer generated music ever created in the attract sequence. A classic!
