This game is so much fun, the only problem is that it's rather hard to control the man and he doesn't seem to understand when you press the FIRE button to shoot. Anyway it's fun and you should give this one a try, I'm sure it's worth your time (at least some 5 minutes before you get stuck).

This game ranks in my Top 5 of Atari 2600 games. I know that it's not a good recreation of the arcade version, and it's not well liked by the game critics, but it is lots of adventure through unkown chambers searching for treasue and keys to unlock other doors/chambers. The only thing bad about this game is it's very hard to control the man and fire accurately. Challenging! But for me, it's worth the time it takes to control the man and figue out the games little "quirks".
