Thanks for the review. Loved the arcade (as well as the NG Nam '75 and... West Bros, was it?), but the CPC conversion can't even hope to be as good as Op Wolf (yeah, I know they're somewhat different but they're in the same category).
I love your reviews.
Cabal; I was really disappointed with it as I used to play it in the arcade a lot. As it was Ocean software, I was expecting more especially as the game doesn't even have any scrolling. Also - the cartoony graphics and lack of 2 player co-op made the whole experience a very different and underwhelming one compared to the arcade version.
The C64 version looks and plays much better.

Wild Guns on SNES perhaps? Certainly it's the prettiest looking game of that particular 'sub-genre'

5 Colours mode 1 ? How :o
Probably the quite common trick of changing the colour index as the screen refreshes (i think that's how it works). Often seen it done on other games. I think it only works vertically not horizontally. Similar to how some games have Mode 0 play area and a Mode 1 status panel I suppose.
Witch craft!
