"An atrocious conversion!! The only vaguely ok thing about this game is the colourful but terribly messy graphics and ok-ish tune. Otherwise be prepared for the most atrocious scroll and speed you'll witness on the CPC! Gameplay wise it's almost unplayable, so it begs the question how on earth Activision who released some brilliant games on the CPC allowed this to get past quality control and play testers! An absolute car wreck of a game."

"I actually liked this! Sure it had its bad points, but was quite playable and reasonably enjoyable, esp if you didnt have a Megadrive to play the good version!"
