Interesting. I don't remember this game. I was all over the Amiga when the great console wars were happening in the early 90's

It was quite advanced for its time, I dont think it made the upper crust of games, but I think it was awesome, never got to Nuke level on it though

I had an Atari 2600, I played it non stop Xmas Day and when I went to bed I was sick in the night as all I could see were the games over and over again.

What a console though, this is why we have an imagination thanks to those shitty games.
