Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“A sadly terrible port of a wonderful game. Used to play for hours on a Commodore 64, no worries. Playing now on a bleeding edge gaming laptop and it's bloody AWFUL. Controls work when they want to, which is to say when you need them to…”
“Comes with 2 games, the original (one of my favorites as a kid) and a 1990's re-release, which unfortunately doesn't have usable controls. The first game is fine, unfortunately I bought it for the second.”
