This was a great Christmas present my brother gave to me for Crimbo 2002 - one of my favourite arcade games many, many years ago when I used to frequent such establishments!

The intro sequences are just as colourful and lead you into the adventure - basically it`s identical (although just a tad slower) to the full arcade version - sadly only missing the stubbed out cigarette end on the screen, and the dodgy looking woman in the change booth next door reading her Mills and Boon.

It`s hard though! Maybe just because I got used ripping the arcade`s joystick to the left or right whilst navigating a floating barrel in underground ravines, using the DVD`s remote control isn`t quite the same (and using expletives at the screen doesn`t go down well with Grandad who was soundly asleep in the chair) but then to be fair I`ve only really quickly ventured into it - knowing when to move is very difficult - there is a feature on the DVD that gives you hints when to choose the action that you want to submit.

It`s a great "game" though - nothing`s lost from the original, and one helluva present to give someone who was bought up on 6foot ChaseHQ, Star Wars and 1942 arcade machines!
