What we thought
 
 
Chris

"The game's genius is in its simplicity, its such an easy game to pick up and play that anybody of any age can find enjoyment. I could sit here for ages trying to beat my top score and I'm sure my kids could do the same. Graphically and musically its okay, I mean its an Atari game so what do you want? The game play is quite compulsive and makes you want to come back again and again. This is by far the most fun I've had on the Atari."

     
5/5
 
   

"This was a classic in the arcades, with the game containing a nice concept that created some simple but addictive game play. Graphically its not bad for an Atari game, but Activision were doing much more impressive graphics for the system during this time, the music is okay, there's a decent little tune that plays whenever you start a new level. All in all a good release, but by the time it came out in the home other companies like Activision were where it was at in my opinion, there was also better ports of the game released shortly later."
