Personal review

OK, so it's not the greatest looking conversion of the Taito coin-op, but it was important to the Spectrum community as it demonstrated that the Speccy was still able to run highly playable games at a time when the Commodore 64 was encroaching on it's territory.

Official description

Meet Bub and Bob two of the busiest beasties you ever saw, as they battle their way across 100 levels of controlled chaos in search of their girlfriends (ahhh!). Jump around picking up goodies and secret weapons as you seek to outsmart your enemies, but beware.... hang around for too long and you'll face Baron Blubba, from whom there's no escape!
