    To begin with this game was designed to squize your pockets dry in the arcades, so be prepared that you'll get a lot unfair moments, but never the less the game is good for 1-2 evenings, but there is some performance issues.

    A classic, very enjoyable to play when you don't want to think too much. Short but high replayability.

    A few framerate drops in the last mission though, when a lot of enemies are on the screen.
