Little Ruff Rogers, age eight, just had his marbles stolen by a diabolical mad scientist. The fiend plans to use them to power his latest invention and take over the world. But in a rare show of villainous sportsmanship, he hands our hero a machine gun and dares him to reclaim what’s his—deep inside a secret lair guarded by an army of machines…
This game packs a punch! It’s fast, responsive, colourful, and the baddies look like they’ve stepped straight out of a Mega Man episode.
The only real flaw is that diagonal shooting doesn’t work while moving or jumping (blame the single-button control). Plus, the fixed 45° angle rarely matches the terrain. Trying to hit enemies at the bottom of a 30° slope? Good luck with that…
