Ooh yes! Ocean's Sizzling coin-op conversion is now on budget. A game of this quality at under four quid - now that's value for money!

The only major difference from the Data East coin-op is that there's no simultaneous two-player mode. Otherwise, it's an incredibly close conversion with virtually all the arcade machine's features faithfully incorporated. Variety of graphics and hazards is immense throughout nine supremely playable, multi-loaded levels.

The game Involves rescuing your kidnapped family - including Granddad who just happens to be a super-weapons researcher!

Of course, you're armed with a machine gun which you rotate to aim - by holding down fire and choosing a direction. You're also an agile fellow: jumping, crouching and crawling along narrow ledges. There's certainly a lot more to this game than mindless blasting.

Some baddies leave keys when shot - collect these to spend in the end-of-level shop. Extra weapons available include a flamethrower, three-way fire and a powerful shotgun, plus special weapons like homing missiles and nitro super-explosive - activated by pressing the space bar.

These certainly come in useful for dispatching the huge military vehicles that pop up at the end, and in the middle, of levels. They're very impressive and sure can take some flak before finally exploding.

With weapons galore, opponents galore and pussy galore [Are you sure about this? - Ed], Midnight Resistance is simply irresistible!
