What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 3 No. 9December 1984Graphics ★★ · Play-Action ★★★

“Although the graphics are extremely basic, the game is enjoyable to play because of the trading of roles.”

— Computer Entertainer, December 1984

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

Before you buy

Low risk. No fakes are documented. The box and manual carry much of a complete copy's value, so check that both are present and in the condition described, and ask for a working test of the cartridge.
