An awesome arcade port. Playing two competitive two player games with my sisters. When our mom passed away and we cleaned out her house this is the game we booted up and played again many decades later. |
| An iconic arcade platformer and an excellent conversion to the Atari!
Is smooth, fast with simple repetitive music and beautifully colored sprites.
Highly recommended! |
