Entertaining. Had to get r om s from paradise. And I have no idea what is meant by hall sticks. My game appears to run as it should.

No problem with the controls for me. Just needed to remap the buttons, but after that, it was fine. Good fun, though with three fire buttons, very tricky to duck/jump at the right time.

Its a game chosen by the Champion of the previous season - anyone can play - it typically runs in the 2 weeks between seasons although since its the holidays its running between the end of Season 32 and the holiday games which will go live a week on Sunday

How do i use bombs?

Besides, it's funny how my memories of the Amiga conversion were of an absolute perfect conversion. I tried it right after and it's very downgraded. Tiny graphics, botched sound effects and no constant scrolling. But it has a kick ass tune during the intro which the arcade doesn't.

I quite liked it on the Amiga, but I don't like this version. The way it controls is horrible.

I see I've played it in the past and got 80 something thousand, but I don't know if I can play it much more and I've only had two goes today.

I think it plays better with an analogue stick. Hitting diagonals constantly with a d-pad is a chore.

There are the seeds of a good game here, but the control method is spoiling this for me, I'm afraid.

in case your controller has one, have you tried mapping the duck button to a shoulder button,?
