[edit] Critics
Sledgie: "Nice Arcade – Game. It is easy to learn and lots of fun."
Guybrush: "Not outstanding but okay."
Rombachs C64 Game Guide: "Despite the honourable mission, an initial motivation is quickly reduced (Vote 3 - September 1984)"
Rockford: "A very good game of skill, as Sledgie already mentioned: easy to learn, but very hard to master. In any way, my motivation doesn't decrease, even after 20 years, maybe after a perfect round, but who can claim he ever had one? Every death is only the fault of the player, this is very fair. A nice idea is the effect in a dark room, when a dynamite bar is lit up. I love this game, I am welcome to give it 8 points."
