1989 Activision (UK)
by the Oliver Twins and David Whittaker
The really good thing about this game is its graphics. The sprites are nicely animated and big, and capture the look and feel of the movie all so well. Also the presentation is really slick, with lots of digitized pictures from the film along with texts explaining the story.
Now for the playability matters, the game has only 3 levels, and the mere fact of knowing that almost kills the game. They are all neatly presented but lack the needed gameplay action any game should offer and the multiloads are simply frustrating, because each time you lose a life you have to rewind the tape and load the level again!
One of the most faithful film conversions graphically but unfaithful to the spirit of the movie.
3,5 stars
