Tough as boots, technically great conversion of the run n' stab classic. The colours are obviously a mixed bag, sometimes making it hard to see... well, anything, but the actual gameplay is tight. Hey look, ma! The Spectrum can scroll. The sound design is nice too, and it's hard to forget that iconic warble at the beginning of each level. Special mention goes to the artwork by the legendary Bob Wakelin, which even though it cribs wholesale from Mike Zeck's Punisher comics still sets the tone perfectly.
