Hi Jason,
It seems you didn't enjoy the real thrill back then when we first saw this game at the yearly fair.
It had good color, nice z80 sound and was a score killer with me and my friends. And you could play it for 15 minutes with one coin!
I was 12 and got maybe 100 (Belgian) franks (2,5 euro now) to play with :)
Coming from Space Invaders, Galaxian, Galaga and then this was a welcome new surprise. We didn't had Arcades back then, so the fair was the only chance to see what was new.
Just call it nostalgica :)

Nostalgia is a tricky thing. Games always seem to improve when you have a personal story to go with them. Thanks for reading my review, and for sharing your story!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2
