This 1989 conversation of the 1983 arcade game is quite impressive on the Amiga. I'd argue the graphics are better, and just like the original, it has its way of making you want to conquer it. And I did just that, legitimately beating the game, and even showing myself on camera doing just that from start to finish. It's an on-a-rail kind of interactive movie, and as such will not appeal to everyone, but I do feel this game deserves better than its near universal negative reviews from Amiga magazines when it was new.
