This game was released in 1989, and it was developed by Titus Interactive which was a French game company. This game was one of their earlier releases Titus Interactive released into the market.

The graphics for the game looks nice for a game of that era, but it is lacks music in the game play. The other ports, like the Atari ST, Amiga, C64, and Amstrad CPC versions had music in the level scenes. For some reason, the PC version did not have music after the introduction scene, and this is awkward, because the Adlib sound card was widely used in 1990. It was rather disappointing for the PC version to not have good sound support, because the graphics were very good compared to all the other versions except for the Amiga and Atari ST versions.

The game play and game mechanics aren't that good. In order to punch, you can't punch by pressing a single button. You need to use the arrow key and space bar. For example, punch forward is the right or left arrow key and space bar. Jump kicking is up and the space bar together. To use the gun, you need to press down and the space bar together. To kick low, it is down and space bar, and this is the same as shooting. The game mechanics were also jerky, but this can be expected for games of this sort back in the 1980s and early 1990s on the PC. This was a classic side scrolling 2 dimensional beat em up game. I saw the ads for this game on all the game magazines I read in 1990. By looking at the magazine ad, it looks like a game you would want to play. When I actually bought the game, I was disappointed.

It is fortunate that you can still play old games like this using Dosbox 0.74. Playing old games like these gives you an idea of how games were like back in the early 1990s.
