Given that they'd produced little of interest since Gunfright, the final Ultimate release wasn't particularly anticipated when it finally arrived.
However, at least it showed some of the innovation that had been lacking from their previous few games. It finally mixed the puzzle element of the Filmation games with the multiway scrolling of Filmation 2. Alas, with some particularly awful controls it's a serious uphill struggle to get much fun out of playing it, although it's still worth persevering with more than the likes of Martianoids or Cyberun.
A disappointment that a legend had to end on such a whimper rather than a bang, but perhaps the real reason behind the decline of Ultimate was that the Stamper brothers had been concentrating their efforts with Nintendo to start the chapter in their history that would become Rare.
