Personal review

An above average shooting game for the PC-Engine/TG-16. Quick reflexes are a must, the game is pretty fast. There are no slowdowns, the overall graphical quality ranges between dull backgrounds and detailed sprites. The music and sound fx are nothing special. On a system like the PC-Engine with so many great arcadestyle shooting games it is hard for this game to compete against the real early classics like "R-Type" or "Gunhed".
