Midnight Resistance got a decent enough 80% when we had a butchers at the Amiga version; our only gripe being the somewhat strange control method. Well, now we've seen the ST version and much the same comments apply.

The only real differences are the lack of the two player mode and the smooth horizontal scrolling of the arcade version, which has been replaced by a flick-screen format (like ST Shadow Warriors).

But if you're playing solo, you won't have much to complain about because Midnight Resistance is still a pretty good blaster - better than many on the ST - and it's also very challenging. Try and have a few goes at the game before actually parting with the folding stuff.

The one-player only gameplay is a bit disappointing, but aside from that, Midnight Resistance is a decent shoot-'em-up that's just a tad on the slow side.
