Well slap o' my thigh if it isn't a horizontally scrolling shoot-'em-up with big bosses and power-up weaponry.

What We Said Then
Jaz: If you're after a slick and playable blaster which won't lose its appeal overnight, have a crack at this.
Matt: With a massive 26 levels to wade through and all of the different endings, it'll be a long time before you get bored with this game.What We Say Now
Jaz: Actually, I still quite like this - it's got five different endings and loads to shoot. Even though the graphics are a bit on the dated side, I'd only probably knock a couple of percent off the marks these days.
Rich: This looks rather dated compared to the likes of Bio-Hazard. Take off about 10% from each rating.
