I remember this one being quite good, sort of an isometric Alien Syndrome. 7/10

Bought the original and I wasn't disappointed. The game offers you some fine arcade action with nice animations. I managed to finish it eventually.

This game had great music and some beautifully gory cartoon death animations!

This game has two great but short pieces of music, the intro and in game. The latter does get repetitive after a while.

The playability takes a nose dive later on when hordes of enemies are just too overwhelming to cope with even in two player mode. The credits and lives slowly wane away....

Like most top down shooters of this era the gun suffers from only being able to shoot in 8 directions, while enemies can approach from many more.

Play it for the comedic detailed graphics, burning hostages with your gun, the music and most importantly the two player mode.

Fun game, great intro, good conversion. But it does have its problems. Firstly the music, although fun at first, becomes gratingly repetitive. Secondly, the gameplay has major flaws. You pathetic weapon is hard to use. It fires in 8 directions but its very rigid and hard to use. At the same time an onslaught of robots attack u from every side imaginable. About 2-3 levels into the game some robots run into you at such speed that they are in fact faster than your laser. Another major flaw is that when walking up, down and diagonal you remain at your normal running speed. But, if you go left or right, you run easily 2 xs as fast, which makes for some strange, unbalanced gameplay. Still, I remember it from the Rainbow Pack or whatever it’s called so I have some nostalgia for it. Worth a look.

Delightfully cheesy. I wish I had been able to get past the second boss and seen the rest of the crazy scenery on Planet X. Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters was a bit too hard a game for me.

Funny game played cooperatively. Great conversion from the Arcade. Recommended on mame if you have jedi reflexes.

I got this in a multipack with some other Amiga games I can't remember. I didn't get real far in it but had a ball with the first few levels. I remember it being a fun one to play for a few minutes at a time. I need something like this on my PC desktop to load up now and then. I'll just have to emulate this one!

Love the music in this game. The levels can be a bit repetitive, and quite difficult to get to grips with. But there's a lot to like here. Some excellent graphics for one.

I generally like 3D isometric games, and liked this one also. The graphics are not bad, the are many huge levels ahead. I also liked the bosses at the end of each level. You had to spare bombs for them. Played it for the first time on C64, got the Amiga version too. I didn't know of the original coin-op version, I discovered it later. One of the few games I engaged on two simultaneous players with my old best friend. Good old times!!

It's a very good isometric action game, problem is that sometimes there are to enemies on the screen and the game is a little fast which makes the game somehow challenging.

I was strangely into this game. It was a pretty silly concept but fun with it. I always remember that crazy music throughout the game too. An enjoyable runaround.

A creditable if slightly weedy conversion.

A very good coin-op conversion. Quite hard but still enjoyable.

Amigalatino: Get WHDLoad.

A slightly less-than-perfect conversion, and an enjoyable (although a bit repetitive on the long run) game. It even manages to look cuter on the Amiga, due to the sprites and the environments being a bit smaller and rounder than the coin-op's originals.

This is a cool game. I used to play this game alot when I used to have an ATARI ST. Now I play the AMIGA version on my A600. Sadly it wont play on my A1200.
