Still Playing After All These Years

I bought this like ten years ago to play on my iPad 2, and I've played it on every device I've had since then. It still works great on my iPad Pro, and remains a speedy retro break. It's a wonderful nostalgic recreation, and a fun little action game.

Doesn’t work on iPhone X

I used to love this game on my iPhone 6, but after upgrading my phone, it no longer works. The app loads for a moment then shuts itself down.

The 80s are here to stay!

I like the game it would be cool if it was a real LCD handheld too!

Early 80s Handheld Magic

Ever played any of the old Game & Watch series? This is just like that. Fun, hectic, endless action just like those little handhelds. 5 stars in my book!

Crashes on iOS 8 now :S
