Nostalgia! I remember getting this as part of a box set for the Amiga 1200 which also included The Settlers, Syndicate and The Terminator. Alot of fun to play and its still challenging. Definately recommend.

A classic brings back hours of nursing older brother through the levels just to die before the end, joystick bindings a bit off but bit of fiddling with the rockfire and swapping a few buttons around on the quickshot and as much fun as it always was even if my reactions are a lot slower, pure joy.

I never noticed any of the port issues people have been going on about in the reviews I never owned this myself. My friend had a commadore and I had an amstrad CPC 464. We used to put a lot of hours into it, but never got very far. Seems so much easier on my own.

This is a great but brutal game, kind of reminds me of a Dark Souls like game where the punishing gameplay can where you down and fully demoralise you. Having said that the game is fair and allows you to progress once you level up your hand-eye coordination skills. Sit back and pour yourself a single malt scotch with ice and bask in it's old school nostalgia !
