Electronic Games · October, 1984
In Juice!, players take the role of Edison, an android, who must complete the circuit connecting all squares of a gaily-colored grid. When the connection is complete, the board lights up and it's on to the next screen. Edison is constantly dogged by the wandering Nohms, which can eliminate him with a touch, and by the menacing Killerwatt, which chases him around the playfield.

While many feel that Juice! was one of the first really good third-party games for the Commodore 64, there are better games of this type available for the Atari. The graphics are substandard, looking as if they'd be more at home on the Intellivision, and the sound effects are unmemorable.

In short, this version of Juice! is unspectacular at best.
