1987 US Gold (UK)
by Paragon
I spent a lot of money on the arcades playing this game, then I got the Spectrum port, and I decided to go back to the arcade and spend some more money.
I guess that gives an idea of what I think of it.

There's only one, wait wrong Saracen. No not the UK Gladiator getting his own game but a pretty appalling game from US Gold and the developers that later became Tiertex. Given the low ratings for this I expected this to be among the worst games ever, however to be honest it wasn't as bad as I thought it was be but it's still pretty pitiful. The graphics in this look like this game was lost in 1984, it looks horrible for 1987. There's hardly any sound and the game just becomes a snorefest very quickly. And the writing on the wall sums up this game perfectly, as if we could be bothered to read these messages during the game anyway. Like level 4 reads "LOCK-IN THE SOLDIERS.", what? I also found it amusing that pressing R causes you to seemingly commit suicide as you lose a life for doing so. And US Gold were charging you £7.99 for this turd as well. So as it turns out, there's only one, and after playing this thank heavens for that.
