"I like this game and enjoyed playing it, it keeps you occupied to a high degree because you've got to keep track of so many elements, you've got the green guys climbing the ladders and the lobsters on the pipes, as well as having to keep track of your assistant. Graphically its fine for the time, and musically its very good too, you can really make out all the classical pieces of music being used. The game is addictive and even fun to watch being played, with seeing people desperately trying to repair and dodge everything being pretty entertaining in itself!. Its not pushing any pioneering elements for the time or anything but is just a really fun game." |

"I think this is a very polished game for the time it came out, the graphics are quite good, they're very colourful and there's a lot of charm in the characters, the game just has nice art design in general. The music is fantastic for the time as well, very few games had in-game music of this quality back then. Where the game play itself is concerned obviously this is still the days of simple arcade games so its not anything that complicated, but as a simple arcade game I think the concept works quite well. I think its addictive and quite fun so I like the game, and it used the C64's hardware much better than a lot of its peers from the early days." |
