I like this game, it's hard, but once you memorize the layout you can get through it with a bit of work. It's got nice colors and good artwork, has nice music, the sound effects are great and I do love the Black Hole reference with Vincent. I give it a solid 70% as it's worth a play.

Lovely graphics, loading bitmap and presentation. The game itself however is very tough. As you have to try and shut down all of the systems by playing sub games, and then place the containers in a store room. The game can drive me insane at times - but I do really like this game. It is above average.

Very nice looking "mapper" game which had a cool little subgame too. I wouldn't have paid it any attention otherwise but got it on a CF covertape. Pretty average though. :|

Baic but fun gameplay, at least for a little while. Generally quite nice in the A/V department too.

I really used to like this game. The presentation and graphics are ace (isn't that VINCENT from The Black Hole?) with amazing attention to detail. The shooting action can be frenzied (if a little mindless) and the lil subgame is cool. The only problem is that after mapping it all out it was very easy to complete, with little to keep you coming back. Great for a budget game, though!

The graphics are nice. The sprites are superb but the backgrounds are far too much colourful, so it attends to get a bit messy. Music is great. Game-play is fully playable and OK for a while.

Very nice Eye-Catching graphics. But great graphics doesn't always make it a great game. :|
