It's 2026 and I finally beat this game - cheated version only, sadly :-( The game is still entertaining and plays really well, thanks to nice graphics and overall smoothness and swiftness. I also appreciate the random placement of hostages & bombs at the start of each new game, making the replayability value quite high. But sadly, the difficulty is is just one that I can best describe as "relentless". Anyway, I recommend everyone trying this one out at least a few times.

This was an absolute pleasure for 1988, feeling really smooth and graphically impressive with much to explore and I recall randomised elements which ensured one was always kept on ones toes whenever it was loaded up. I did manage to complete it once though almost didn't thanks to getting rather manic trying to return to where one had started in order to complete it!
