    Nope, you can do better scrolling in stock STOS than this. There is an STE version that fixes it, but this was a LAZY AMIGA port.

  • Marko21 Sept 2022

    No, it's not the best what ST could do. It's how lazy Amiga ports were made back in the day.

  • Megalomaniac19 Sept 2022

    Borderline unplayable because of the disruptive flick-scrolling. Was this really the best the ST could do, or should they have bit the bullet and made it STe only?

  • Steve21 Sept 2015

    Great game but ohhhh that horizontal scrolling. Where is it? Obviously a rushed job, which is a terrible shame. I hope PP gets to make a STe version one day :/ Fingers are crossed!
