Oh dear. This is a sad little collection we've got this month. Vigilante does little to improve the situation either. It's a horizontally scrolling beat-'em up in which you play a lunatic vigilante who, for some strange reason, thinks he can single-handedly save Madonna (not the famous popstrel, of course) from her kidnappers. Moves are hideously limited. Kicks and punches do little to deter enemies while the flying kick looks more like a ballet leap than a martial ant manoeuvre.

A variety of opponents require a different number of hits to kill but other than that it's all pretty bland and repetitive. At the end of the level there's a giant of an opponent who, unlike other adversaries, is next to impossible to defeat. Yet again, average graphics and sound bolted on to 64K of dismal gameplay make this another one to avoid.

Oof, ooyah, yipes, pass me a knitting needle, I've developed a terrible itch down me plaster cast. Aaaaaaah blissful. Where was I? Oh yes, Vigilante. I always say why use several words when one will do... crap!
