Take Jake and Duke on a raid into alien robot factories, freeing human hostages while hunting for captive scientist, Sarah Bellum.

One or two players can take part in this Amstrad conversion of the Tengen coin-op, which features most of the gameplay of the arcade original apart from the Cyber Sled section which, due to memory restrictions, is out. The playing area is quite small, and the screen flicks instead of scrolling, but the graphics are very colourful, and a lot of the touches, like the hanging-on-by-your-fingernails bit, have been programmed in. The rotate-and-walk-forward control takes some getting used to, but at least it saves you from scrabbling around the keyboard because the smart bombs detonate when you pull down on the stick.

Very playable, and a game that Amstrad arcade players should enjoy.

A conversion that Domark, and Amstrad owners, can be proud of.
