It is a great little arcade game. Just the kind that you want to concentrate on and maximize your scores each round to make a good high score. And i suppose that is also the only real con: This thing requires time -> Want to get into top 10 or even top 5? No save function so better get to it. Top spots require a few hours of good game play. Very much doable though so roll up them sleeves and get into it. Cheap good arcade fun. Most recommended for people who are into this. I am very much into this.4 found this helpful
This was the next best arcade game that we should have had in 1989. I love everything about it.3 found this helpful
Absolutely worth it on sale, one of the few games to really nail every bit of the jarvis games from controls to sound to design philosophy.2 found this helpful

WOW a newly-created retro arcade game that really feels like it came out around the same time as Defender, Joust and Robotron 2084, and it's really, really fun to play! Why did I wait 2 years after this came out to buy it! If you love fast-paced retro arcade games, don't miss this one!1 found this helpful
Nice single screen arcade game a bit like Joust meets Choplifter!
