VIGILANTE REVIEW FOR SEGA MASTER SYSTEM.
So it turns out Irem were good for more than just sideways scrolling shoot 'em ups! In this review, I take a look at the Sega Master System port of their arcade hit Vigilante - a game I know better from its PC Engine port. This one's handled by Arc System Works rather than Irem themselves.
It's not the most sophisticated of side-on brawlers, but in the arcades, it made a name for itself with its fast pace of play and, for the time, snazzy presentation. Being comparatively simple and fast gaining in popularity, it was an obvious choice for conversion to home gaming platforms. I remember a slew of home micro ports, but as I say, it was the PC Engine Hu-card release that sticks in my mind.
Sega's 8-bit Master System, though, is a vastly different beats to NEC's dinky little console. At a glance, it looks the part, with recognisable versions of the arcade game's sprites and locations. But concessions to the console's less powerful hardware are certainly in evidence. Does the game suffer for it? I put aside my prejudices against these kinds of games and boot it up to give it a good working over!
If you like these kinds of simple fighting games and there's a particular one you'd like to see me review, hit me up in the comments below and tell me! I'm always looking for new games to try out.
