I bought this recently (Jun 22) for my VCS, and it's a decent, fun game. It's a bit like Berzerk and Wizard of Wor, and has pleasingly large, animated sprites. I like the way the enemies morph into other types until you eventually kill them altogether, my favourites being the skeletons. Scrolling is smooth, the game's quite slow, but for a VCS title it's a nice effort.
