rubeon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 18,550 I'll definitely do a few more runs: I never had this game back in the day, but ordered it specially for the HSC. Turns out, it's fantastic! I love this game ?

Turns out, it's fantastic! I love this game ? So glad to hear you're enjoying your new purchase! This has been a favorite of mine since playing it on the Atari computers in the mid 80's. It really holds its own quite well with the other classics of the era.

I’d like to encourage everyone to keep at this game if you’re having fun with it. Level 5 IS beatable, and there’s five more fun levels to go!

Yes, in the end I could manage the 5th level and the 6th one. The 6th level the radioactive was relatively easy compared to the Colecovision version, which I know better. But my score was too low for first place. Congratulations to Rubeon.

troff Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 It was my first time with this game, and I did really enjoy playing it. I actually just played a little more tonight because you always feel like you can make it to the next level.
