It's an 8-bit conversion and it feels like one -- though to the port's credit it's not an exact match with the C64 and Speccy originals. A nice chiptune accompanies the action and there's an undeniably addictive quality to the game that starts to show itself after you've banged your head against the difficulty wall for a little while, but I suspect many folks will be put off before they get to that point.
