| The review found the Master System version beautifully detailed, more so than the computer original, with more equipment to buy and traffic on the road, both additions to the original. It has the player climb the temple's stairs to confront Gozer, and a win pays a fee that raises the next game's starting money. The reviewers called it a slightly silly but fun-filled game. | p. 13, Critically Speaking...Sega Compatiblep. 13, Critically Speaking...Sega Compatiblep. 13, Critically Speaking...Sega Compatiblep. 13, Critically Speaking...Sega Compatiblep. 13, Critically Speaking...Sega Compatible | Magazine |
