Another Jaleco arcade game gets ported to the ZX Spectrum, this time it's Butasan which was renamed Psycho Pig U.X.B. for the 8-bit ports.

The idea is that you control a pig to throw bombs at other pigs, simple, sinister and good fun though it can be difficult moving your pig and actually hitting anyone with the bombs, things just let a little bit too frantic. Still it's good fun once you get into it.

Pigs shooting bombs at each other ,,, sounds fun , doesn´t it ?


Original idea , although a bit chaotic at times .


3,5 / 5 .

It's a nice idea, a clever one at that, but at times so much happens at once and it all gets a bit too confusing. At times you don't realise you have a bomb and blown yourself up while at other times you die far too quickly, pretty much as soon as the level loads you're blown up. Very annoying, very frustrating, too much for my interest. Top marks to the Japanese programmer who came up with the initial concept, it's just a shame this version had to be a letdown.
