Ah, good old jerky software scrolling done via redrawing the entire playfield. But at least it wasn't a straight Spectrum port.

It looks like a badly done Commando or Ikari Warriors.

What do you mean? Scrolling is butter-smooth and the playing area is huge! I wonder how they did that!

The arcade, on the other hand... oh my god, I really laughed with that.

The arcade version is just wrong. He looks like he's downed a bottle of whisky, or someone has broken his knees. Who signed that off?

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. It could pass as comical and it'd be hilarious indeed, but the game's premise is not that humorous.
