Superb game. One of my favourites from my childhood, but be warned -- it's tough! After the first couple of stages, there are quite a few different things to keep track of at once, and it can be overwhelming to begin with. But persist and you will gradually improve! Thankfully, repeated play is a pleasure thanks to the excellent, colourful visuals and well-crafted music. It's not hard to see why Fernando Herrera was the "First Star" of Atari 8-bit development.

This is an outstanding early Atari game. Gameplay is challenging. Colours are beautiful. And I love the use of Tchaikovsky music throughout. 10 out of 10 for me.
