Review:

The Amiga conversion was considered to be an amazing achievement at what was considered to be a coin-op that could not be simulated on any current home computer.

If that was the case, then the Spectrum version must be considered as something of a miracle! A superb attempt that includes some very faithful graphics and more importantly, some sense of the frenetic action of the arcade version. A good game and a great piece of programming.
