I remember renting this over 30 years ago from HEB video central. I loved it! The sound of the sword slashing is burned into my brain. Playing it again recently on the switch makes me realize I’ve not the reflexes I used to. And what the hell are those little robots that circle the character!? I keep trying to kill them.

It makes you wonder how did you got so far back then. It’s certainly not a casual play. They are helpers if it’s what I’m thinking of. They destroy anything they come in contact with.

Amazing game but bastard hard!

[@classicfromtheattic]

There was always some twat who fires that lucky shot that sends you down a hole.

Wow you have the CDX box. I remember the box being much smaller than that. I've got the console (CDs don't read anymore) but it was such a cool little console.

[@classicfromtheattic]

It’s my favourite system. Fortunately mine still works. But even if it didn’t, I could never get rid of it.

[@popixel]

@@classicfromtheattic 🤯that’s amazing that yours still works.

[@classicfromtheattic]

@popixel I know! I’m scared to use it in case it goes pop.

I've always like the Genesis version best. Especially audiowise.

[@classicfromtheattic]

It does sound very good, especially for an early title.

Brutal game, I threw my controller more than once.

[@classicfromtheattic]

I think my console had a scar from a speeding controller.

Great review. Too hard and awful box art. Not one of my favourites

[@classicfromtheattic]

Thanks! It’s ugly as hell. Doesn’t really look attractive enough to make you want to buy it.
