10A brief play (with commentary) of Wheelies, a 1988 release by Micro Selection Plus.
I used to play this one a bit when I was younger, but to be honest - it's certainly a little flatter than I remember. It can be funny to see the effect that nostalgia can have on making things appear better than they are.
In particular, the system used to replace a simple display of lives seems to be both a blessing & a curse. At least it felt that way from the play through I did.
Regardless, it's an interesting curio piece. Even just for a shooter-type of game which does one or two things differently ;)
