i absolutely loved this game on Atari Lynx back in 1989-1993... its awesome to be able to play it again now... kinda plays better with my Hori Gamepad on my Asus TUF F117 gaming laptop then i remember on Lynx... awesome! +++ edit +++ playing around 4am this morning 20/08/2023 i managed to reach the final Boss stage on Level 5... man i hadnt done this since my childhood days playing Zarlor Mercenary... i had a great run and was super lucky a few times,,, im uploading this mornings gameplay to my YouTube... defo play this to revisit the old skool shooters from 1990! they were a different breed and very very hard! but they rewarded persistence with a high score you would find hard to beat... that was it,,, no checkpoints... so save points... just a single run depending on how many lives you had in the game... very satisfying to reach level 5 today... and i really wish companies would make shooters like this again,,, A+ 5/5!
