  Please note that the skull death screen of Countermeasure was designed by Alan Murphy and exists in 2 other fashions: 1) a parody of the image with the skull smoking a cigarette was released on 04/17/20 by the National Videogame Museum: https://www.facebook.com/nvmusa/posts/1557525544416797 2) the same death screen was recycled (albeit with different colors) for CRIME BUSTER released for the XEGS by Atari Corp. in 1988.

  This is a decent, solid title for the 5200, but there's nothing special about it. The controls are sometimes frustrating, however.
