Player Reviews
Average score: 3.5 out of 5 (based on 3 ratings with 1 reviews)
The Good
Nice EGA graphics. Not too difficult. Has a Zombies Ate My Neighbors vibe.
The Bad
Yes, the keyboard controls are horrible but you can edit the KBD.KBD file using a hex editor to change the controls to your preferred keyboard scancodes. Here's my file which changes fire to CTRL (which also starts the game), bomb to ALT, pause to SHIFT, and quit to ESC. The arrow keys already control movement. Second player is changed to W,A,S,D,<,>:

The Bottom Line
With a little keyboard tweaking this is an instant favorite.
