Challenging Exclusive 16-Bit Port

The Good
An excellent arcade port featuring similar visuals to the arcade. The audio mimics the arcade sounds.

The Bad
Many reviewers complained that the game was dated. I say it’s great in 2025 so it couldn’t possibly be dated in 1987!

The first half of level one is not too bad. But then there are some hair raising jumps.

The Bottom Line
However, with practice it’s possible to find strategies to get by. The challenging jump’s actually make it unique when compared with the arcade. I enjoyed it!
