Fantastic memories!

I’m so excited to have found this game. I’ve got photos of me and both my sisters playing this game nearly 40 years ago. I played this game for years when I was a kid. Talk about unlocking a memory!

Good replica of my favourite portable electronic game.

It is a fun Space Shooter. I am satisfied. I have the original game from the 1980’s and take it everywhere. This is a good backup.

Merry Christmas in July?

I can’t believe someone actually created an ambulation for an actual electronic game of the 1970s/80s. Whoever you are, please oh please make more emulations of other games! I will say that the controls are a bit hard to grasp using a touchscreen, but I guess I’ll have to get a controller to fix that, however, I’m giving it five stars plus plus plus because this is exactly the kind of thing we need in this new digital age. Please let make other emulations of other games and here’s a challenge for you, if you can find an old Merlin or a master Merlin, I would just absolutely love it if you’ve made an emulation for that as well, You might want to try Simon before moving onto other games as that’s probably the easiest thing to emulate. And again, excellent I can’t say it enough very very excellent work! you should also know that I’m a person with multiple disabilities and this more than helps with managing my disabilities thank you for helping out people that have multiple disabilities. This is so needed now!
