This game features one of the most original, intriguing plots of the last centuries: you are the grandson of an elderly scientist who appears to be a genius at creating new powerful weapons. A wicked criminal has kidnapped the man and, appearingly, some other members of the family... your girlfriend, your sister, mum, dad etc. Of course you are a muscular thug with no brains, and instead of calling the police or asking a favour to mafia you decide to go all alone with some heavy gun, kill all the baddies and set your relatives free... hey, haven' t I heard this all before ?July 12, 2001 by Lorenzo
"No Second Prize" is still the best in his category, but Team Suzuki scores a close 2nd. It' s a good, playable arcade game that also gives you the feeling of "being there" of a true simulation. Gremlin was famous for its good racing games, and this one doesn' t fall behind the standard.July 10, 2001 by Lorenzo
Every Bitmap Brothers game featured excellent graphics, and this one is no exception. It' s just like the Amiga version, although slightly darker, with excellent sprites and a very fluid animation and scrolling. Everything is well detailed and a pleasure to watch. Ok, to be really picky we could say that there' s just one stadium and the players look all the same, but hey, this is no Fifa 2000...

If it was still a full priced game I wouldn' t really suggest anyone to buy it. Actually, it's great fun for about 2 hours, but then it becomes really boring. 2 players mode is much better anyhow, and playing it with a friend solves all those damn AI problems. Actually, the game gets harder this way even if your friend has the IQ of an amoeba...

Do you know golf ? That old English sport where snobbish-looking people aimlessly wander around a large field, hitting a ball with a club and trying to send it into a small hole? Well, forget it... this isn't actually a golf sim. This is an old arcade game involving bouncing burgers, pinballs, windmills, fairies and magic carpets. And it's much funnier than the real thing.

Read interview of Jonathan Wheatman"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
