The Good
To be honest I never played the game in the arcades, but I did play virtually every version ever available for every other platform :-)

Regardless, the original PC version is pretty good. Decent graphics, decent controls and the same basic gameplay make this game just plain addictive - a helluva time burner in a time where the best you could do was Digger and Alley Cat. I used to sped hours at a time playing these three games, and they were FUN.

The Bad
Sound (or lack thereof) is, well, lacking. Also the addictiveness wears off rather shortly.

The Bottom Line
A conversion from one of the classic Atari arcade games. A classic, nothing more, nothing less.
