Another arcade classic (1987) that they tried to bring home.
The result isn’t outright terrible, but this is the kind of game that’s much more fun in the arcade, in the cockpit, with the rotating seat. The microcomputer and console ports, downgraded in resolution, plagued by sluggish animation, and washed-out environments, lose their charm pretty quickly.
There’s also another adaptation for the Amiga under the same name, published by Activision in 1988 (and that one really is terrible).
More screenshots: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
