Never played it, but as we can see in ChinnyVision's latest video, it is clearly a load of dog's eggs...

It could've been a cool management game like ghostbusters,
It seems like once the basics were done they were just like, "well these 8bits are on their last legs, lets just strip mine the last dying breaths out of 'em"

I'm still astonished at that first level - the Spy-Hunter-esque drivel - which is clearly unfair. As you see in the video, lots of points where you won't be able to get past the traffic even if you were the best gamesplayer in the world.

I'd be insulted if this was a PD freebie on a covertape. To think actual money was charged for this.

Never knew about this game, it's a waste of good quality tape.
