The game is mixture of different games each representing a level with a few alterations from the original titles.
The game plays incredibly fast, in fact, as a lot of games from this time did, and I get the impression that kids around this age were super kids not normal ones!
The first level looks very similar to 'Frenzy' but with some welcoming changes. Its a bit confusing at first because of the controls and not knowing exactly to where your man is facing. Once you get over those initial stumbles it gets enjoyable blasting the one-eyed robots and flashing balls.
The second level reminds me of games such as 'Space Invaders' but with a radical approach and tremendously hard to defeat! I thought I was going to lose an eye playing it.
Cant say if there are any third or fourth level or any more levels because Im just a normal kid (well, not that either, A kid, I mean!). And as a result my normal powers havent allow me yet to get past the second level.
On a whole this is a good game but too fast and hard to enjoy, at least for us, normal kids.
