Not worth the price at all.. August 10, 2008
This is hardly considered a port of the original arcade game.. This little guy uses a very primitive system to display everything on the screen (kind of like a colorful Game & Watch with a back-light)
Everything in the game is apparently too big to fit on one screen so it uses a strange "left & right" screen system where you can only see half of whats going on at a time. This gets a little disorienting at first and often causes you to aimlessly move into an enemy attack because you have no idea whats going on in the screen opposite to you.
This is a poor excuse for a hand-held game by today's standards.. The original game could have easily been ported to a machine that size and fit in one screen, but for some reason they decided to go the "rip-you-off" route. There is no possible way for that company to justify a 35 dollar (plus shipping) price. They do not deserve your hard earned money.
DO NOT BUY!
