5.0 out of 5 stars A tight game, regardless of being 2D
This is the best arcade game I have played since "Strikers 1942," it mixes a cool soundtrack, vivid colors, and action together without so much as a single hiccup. The gameplay is addictive, and the 30 levels go from the early 1900's up through WW2, the Vietmnam War, and into the future. Plus, Baron von Schtopwatch is always cracking things at you, such as: "I just vant...

1.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs down to Wingnuts and Freeverse Software
Despite what Freeverse software says, this game is not compatible with OSX. They released several patches/downloads on their Website, but I tried them all and it didn't fix the problem. I contacted them about this and asked for a refund. They agreed to refund money, but I have been waiting for several months, and no refund yet! There are numerous complaints about this...

This game is a sure five-star winner. Good entertainment for the generation of younger children. Amazingly, this shooter contains none of the following:Blood, gore, profanity, and jetlag. This game is one of Freeverse's most succesful programs.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun, fast action game., August 17, 2002

The graphics are pretty, the action is intense, the comments from Baron von Shtopwatch are somewhat funny, and the sound is excellent. It even works with gamepads in OS X, as well as in 9.x. The only drawback is that a single game can last over an hour or two, if you're good, and by then you're too tired to play it a second time, and you quit and play something a little slower.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groovy game, Kick-Neck Soundtrack!, June 15, 2002
By 
This review is from: Wingnuts (CD-ROM)
This game is an arcade classic on it's own, with remarkably fun and addictive levels, really mesmerizing particle effects and explosions, fun voice acting and a great soundtrack by the immortal Digital Droo of MacAddict fame, who did an absolutely stellar job of orchestrating all the levels. It's not 3D, true, but it doesn't need to be! All the action is liquid smooth with really high frame-rates, the sprites are all in beautiful 32bits, it runs natively in OSX and everything just looks really slick and lively. It's colorful, it's fun, and it's cheap! Buy it now, dangit!!! :)

This review is from: Wingnuts (CD-ROM)
This game rocks! It's kind of like Maelstrom, only it's a lot more advanced and it doesn't deal with asteroids. The Baron and the lady on the right-hand side of the screen say some pretty funny stuff, but it gets old after a while. I got this game for free off of .Mac, and I must say that it works fine with OS X. (I'm running 10.3.6.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Game!, February 14, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Wingnuts (CD-ROM)
This is the kind of game that you can play over and over again. This game reminds me of the older 1980s arcade consoles. The graphics are sprite based and they look great. The game supports force feedback. This really adds realism to the game. When you bump in to things during the gameplay, you actually feel it. The system requirements are not too steep for this game. The game runs on MacOS X too! I would check out this game, because it is one of those types of games you can play over and over again. I really mean this too, in 20 years this game will still be a pleasure to play!

excellent game to bad they don't make the new version for PC. I tried it on the easy level and it was simple to beat. Now will move up a level and see how hard it is. the 30th level is the best and of course the last level

I contacted them about this and asked for a refund. They agreed to refund money, but I have been waiting for several months, and no refund yet! There are numerous complaints about this game on their own message board and it seems like if you are very lucky and try to reset your monitor to a different display size, maybe it works. I tried all these ridiculous fixes and none of them worked. Plus, the game is a super basic shoot and dodge. Not worth it. Major thumbs down.
