Comments: Yuck. A terrible conversion. Garish, blocky graphics coupled with monotone sound and insipid gameplay make this one of those cartridges to obtain only because it is there to collect.

Comments: The game was released in the US on cartridge and disc with 2 different programs. Whilst the disc version had all 4 screens, this only had 2. And suffers because of it, whether due to lazy programming or lack of memory on the cartridge. Plays okay otherwise.

Comments: Great conversion of the popular arcade game, very authentic and playable. Control your secret agent down the road and rivers as far as possible, racking up points from destroying enemy vehicles be they cars, helicopters or boats. All the features of the arcade, just plug a joystick into the other port to access the weapons though! And the famous Peter Gunn music plays most of the way through.

Comments: A conversion of the arcade game, and not really anything sophisticated and deep to do with the TV series. Fly around space, protect the starbases and destroy the nasty Klingons warbirds. You have both photon torpedoes and phasers to use, plus shielding and hyperspace to defend yourself. Reasonable pseudo 3D graphics and sound effects hide a slightly shallow gameplay experience.

Comments: Not as good as the HES conversion (done by Michael Cranford), this looks, sounds and plays very much like it was coded by the person who did the Sega Zaxxon game. Which means the graphics are colourful but jerky moving, the sound isn't all that special and the playability is a little off. Not bad, but could have been better just like the original could have been too.

Comments: Great arcade game, just as good conversion here. Fill the customers' glasses up to get them all out of the door in time, then collect the empties or tips left for bonus points. Colourful animated graphics and catchy sound wrap up the package. This version would have scored more if it wasn't for the fact only the first two bars are included instead of all four. Memory problems rear their head once more.

Comments: Another of those games where I encountered the conversion before even setting eyes on the arcade parent. And I haven't done that to this day. Guide the Baja buggy round the outdoor course, collecting flags and jumping on other vehicles to score points. Quite challenging with a keen eye for the coloured flags needed and tactics to avoid getting run over.

Comments: Really not going either way with this conversion sadly. The graphics are nice to look at until they move, then the sprites seem to jerk about a bit over the screen. Sound is adequate, explosions, laser blasts and the so forth. The game is mildly addictive, to try and negotiate the 3D landscape and get to the end to face the robot. But the Super Zaxxon conversion wasn't much better.
