Played as part of Atarti 50.
First decent game in ages, fuck. It's pretty alright, although the visuals are overcluttered and the control scheme is definitely worse than arcade. Even controlling this game with a mouse I thought was too much of a compromise to even bother trying to rate the original, so it's a shame that we're stuck with a dpad here, but in comparison to all the other dogshit in the past 10 or 20 so games in this collection I heartily welcome a marginally lesser port of a pretty good arcade game.
If this is the best Jaguar game, though, it's really emblematic of the entire experience. The only shit worth playing is worse ports of 15 year old arcade games, wow. Way to sell a console lmao

I'm sure the best way would be to play on its original hardware, but this game is still fun as hell on PC.
From its flashy visual feedback from annihilating enemies to the kickass techno music, this game has everything to keep you playing. It's probably one of the only good Jaguar games, but the console would absolutely capture my attention with this game alone.
