  This is one of those rare games tied tied to a big blockbuster that manages to be unique and totally enjoyable. Gameplay is simple, but grows in difficulty in a way that always feel satisfying. Graphically, it looks great, making good use of its licensed material. If only I could get that little tune out of my head.

  @FreeMonk: The game has 100 levels. I completed it a several years ago. When I was a kid I always found a bit too hard but every single room has it's own strategy. Great game, very smooth animations and nice sound effects! The framerate drops a bit when many sprites are on the screen but that doesn't narrow the fun to play it.

  A great hack-n-slash game in the Robotron style, with killer graphics and some cool surprises (like using the TV set). But it was way too easy, lacking a proper difficulty curve. If I were to reissue Gremlins, I would definitely address that point. Otherwise, terrific fun.

  This is one of my favourite Atari 800 games. Starts easy, but gets tricker and tricker as it goes along. As someone else mentioned, does this game EVER END? I never found out, but now my Atari 800 has been dug out of the cupboard, maybe it's time to find out!!

  This was such a great game in its time. Spent many an hour playing this and it just gets better and better...but, does it ever end?
