Review:

Ultimate had a lousy sense when it came to choosing playing keys but that was the only criticism when this game came out. The graphics and action were the best seen on a Spectrum up to that point and the game quite rightly gave Ultimate a high reputation. The only real criticism is that it is a little easy, especially as there are some areas where you can stay to build up massive scores. A classic and the first of many fine games from the company which would later transform into the equally successful Rare.
