Good game. But was Atari THAT lazy that they couldn't be bothered to change the main menu to say "Option" and "Select" instead of "*" and "#"?

Great game, I played it on many systems. This one is pretty good.

Very very cool this little moon patrol, cause was hard the last three levels of this game, almost made me sick... But lovely dynamics for fast action on 2D!!
