As a kid I remember bothering my brother to buy Adventure Island for the NES so i could go show it off to one of my friends. So i got the game and headed to his house with my game in hand. When i got there i noticed he was playing a weird mech game. I was in awe with the gameplay that I totally forgot about my game.

This game if anyone plays it will find some rewarding gameplay. This is a rare game that many people didn't get to play. U use a Mech or robot as u go across some futuristic outerspace levels. What draws me to this game is the fact that u can either walk like any traditional game from left to right or by pressing up and jump and using gravity ur on the ceiling shooting some bad robots. The enemies are as good as any other IREM game as simple as that. And if anyone is familiar with maker company IREM u know this is a good shooter as well as any of their other plane shooters.

If u are like me and really want to find a rare game that was one of the best games i played in the 8 bit era, this is the one. I recommend it. I give this game 5 stars, rating it as an 8 bit game.

Most people have never heard of this game. To those that have, it's an underrated gem. It's puzzling why so many passed this game up. The controls are tight, the gravity flip gimmick is cool and the action is frantic. However, the levels feel a bit short and I don't think they used the gravity flip to it's full potential. There is a second quest (remember when games did that?) so that adds some length and it is still a fun game.
