Amiga version
The ground breaking platform game, often copied, never bettered
The Good
Slick motion capture and tight controls gave this action game a unique feel.
The graphics, although not great overall, felt appropriate, the animations were simply terrific for the time and made it a cult classic.
The Bad
Repetitive and uninspired backdrops and enemies along with almost non existent music (save for a few jingles and sound effects) gave the game a washed-out look.
Some gameplay snags and a difficulty rating a tad too high were the major issues.
The Bottom Line
A ground-breaking action game and a must-have Amiga game!
