Gave it a second try and came out a lot more positive. I think it's one of the few 16-bit games that got better with time; now that's super inexpensive and accessible, it's a lot easier to admire its b-movie energy and overly-charismatic charm.

Cannot imagine spending 60 bucks on this in 1989 tho, it's 10 goddamn minutes long and has almost no depth to its gameplay.
