Never had this game as a kid, but if I had I would probably liked it. It reminds me of an horizontal River Raid, although it plays differently. The speed can be quite furious and hard on the boat's control but adds a bit of adrenalin that River Raid never had.

3,5 points

This is a simple game to get into but there doesn't seem to be much within the game to fully enjoy it. Also, I plain suck at it. But it's nice enough for what it is and I found myself having a "oh, one more go" feel to it. Quite nice.

A super little early spectrum shoot em up , fast , requires good reactions , the game has some extra features if you get further down the river , airplanes that drop mines , extra lives gained by parking between a very tight dock etc , overall a high energy fun shooter that has that one more go element.
