DOS version
The best platformer of all-time.
The Good
What isn't there to like? Huge levels, imaginative enemies, fanastic graphics, and a whole bunch of fun. The game still can prove challenging even to this day, and still strikes as one of the defining moments of my childhood, just plugging (and defeating) this wonderful game. The ending is treasurable as well.
The Bad
It was a little hefty for computers back in the day-- but this isn't a problem any more with much faster computers.
The Bottom Line
An amazing platformer reinforced with great ingenuity. Highly recommended.
