Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Jim Power started life on the Amiga, featuring some stunning parallax scrolling and brilliant music from Chris Huelsbeck, but was eventually ported to various consoles, including the PC Engine. The SNES version is particularly memorable for horridly weird reversed scrolling between the foreground and background layers, which means it's not a game to play whilst slightly tipsy.
Given the resurgence of retro games in the past few years, Jim Power was re-released on various formats, but also received a conversion to the NES. I don't know if this was built from the ground up, or whether it was a prototype from back in the day which was eventually picked up and finished, but I can say it's a pretty stunning conversion.
The graphics and music are excellent, and the gameplay is rock solid too. This is a nifty run-and-gun shooter with plenty of levels, and well worth checking out.
