Gotta disagree on this one, i thought it was poor given what the CPC was capable of, even back then.

Jerky scrolling, bad collision detection, an unforgivable blocky third boss, and elevators? Pretty sure the arcade version had staircases!

Ah, you're right about the collision detection, had forgotten about that... As for the CPC's capabilities, wasn't this a rather early title?

Converted to the CPC in 1986, but by then, there were a bunch of class games out. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them.

I still thought it was fun ;)

For 1986 it's not bad at all.

I was a big fan of the arcade and felt that it was piss poor.
You could jump over the midgets in levels 2 onwards (something that my best mate LOL'd hard at).
