World 3 completed now. I see they’ve started recycling bosses already though – the one at the end here was just two of the spiders from World 1. The game’s flaws are becoming apparent now too – bounce angles are only in 45 degree steps, for a start. And it is pretty repetitive. But still fun.
Just worked my way through World 2 on this. Not that it took very long, although the boss at the end was a bit of a pain. Luckily, my ball got trapped between its head and the wall on my third attempt, and it died pretty quickly.
I never had this game in either of its original incarnations on the PC Engine and the Megadrive, but remember wanting it when I saw a review of it. I think the UK version either never existed or was ub3r-l@@k-r@re. It’s Breakout with two bats and zombies, basically. And it is pretty good too, making use of the second screen to see further up the level as you progress. Graphics are pretty poor though – no improvement on the Megadrive …
