Crash
1st December 1990
Sadly, due to the Spectrum’s limitations, the game is monochrome but the attention to detail is amazing! The moving sprites are highly defined, as are the backdrops. Read Review

A good conversion on a popular theme. The best drug bashing shoot 'em up on the market. Read Review

Not the most original or exciting shoot 'em up ever but still one which provides plenty of moderately difficult action. Read Review
Your Sinclair
1st October 1992
It's multiload, the graphics are jerky and badly drawn, the separate key for crouch/jump is annoying and the 3D effect is totally unconvincing. You'll get very bored indeed. Originally we gave this 72%... and I don't know what we were thinking! Read Review
Your Sinclair
1st February 1991
Violent, repetitive and morally dubious shoot-'em-up based on the popular arcade game. Read Review
Full Instructions
Gameplay
Level 1.
Collect bullets dropped by the enemy to obtain rapid fire. Then locate the door which will take you through the pipeline.
Level 2.
You are inside a subway station. Locate the red safe card to return to the junkyard.
Level 3.
You return to the junkyard where you must seize cash, drugs, bullets and missiles, arresting people where possible.
Level 4.
Krak Street - you are on route to the evil drug cartel HQ. Here you will meet Spike Rush who throws hypodermic needles at you - if they hit you, they will inject you with drugs and you will lose strength.
Level 5.
You are inside the drugs lab where the Krak is made. Vicious dogs will block your path and attack you. Find the blue safe card to exit from the lab.
Level 6.
Outside the lab, you will find yourself on a bridge where you will meet Joe Rockhead, the drug addict. You can not arrest him, so you must blast him before he gets near you. Make your way across the bridge - you can jump into passing cars and drive them to cross more quickly.
Level 7.
Once across the bridge, you are back on the streets of Sunset Strip. Kinky Pinky the man knifeman appears here. He will attempt to kidnap the female escorts. You need to blast Kinky in order to protect the escorts as you move through this level.
There are five exit doors from this level. One is locked and will require a silver safe card and the other four lead to four sub-levels. These are called the Kennals, Kinky's Big Top, The Swamp and The Scrap Heap.
One of the sub-levels contains the silver safe card you need but you will have to find out which one.
Level 8.
You are outside the nursery where Skyhgh grows his drugs. Blast your way through the gunmen to get to the entrance of the nursery.
Level 9.
Collect the illegal drug plants for an extra bonus, but watch out - some of them are booby-trapped. Make sure you blast the gunmen as one of them will be carrying the green safe card to exit the nursery.
Level 10.
Back on the streets you must make your way through downtown towards the headquarters of Mr. Big's evil organization Krak. When you reach the building and enter, you will have to fight through the headquarters to reach Mr. Big.
Level 11.
Once inside Mr. Big's office, he will attack you in his wheelchair. When you finally manage to overcome him, he will leave a gold safe card.
Level 12.
Mr. Big, having recovered from your attack is now really angry! You will need all of your skill and a good supply of missiles to finally defeat him.
He will then drop another gold car. You can use this to enter a special bonus level.
