| Crash reviewed the ZX Spectrum version in April 1988 (Imagine, £7.95 on cassette, £14.95 on disk, programmed by Mike Lamb, the facts box's Author) and gave it 80%. Kati found the play smooth, without the random changes of speed of the original Arkanoid, and the collision detection accurate, and Mike called it by far the better of the month's two Breakout games. All three lost the bat at times: Mike on the paler screens, Kati and Nick against backgrounds of its own colour. Nick called it just another run-of-the-mill bat-and-ball game. | p. 106 (image 106), facts boxp. 106 (image 106), facts boxp. 106 (image 106), first commentp. 106 (image 106), first commentp. 106 (image 106), first commentp. 106 (image 106), first commentp. 106 (image 106), first commentp. 106 (image 106), first commentp. 106 (image 106), second commentp. 106 (image 106), second commentp. 106 (image 106), third commentp. 106 (image 106), third comment | Magazine |

| Crash's three reviewers were Nick, Kati and Paul. Nick could find nothing wrong with the Spectrum game, and Paul wrote that it "defies all adjectives". Kati found the idea familiar but the slickness of its presentation exceptional, and noted that progress comes to mean sacrificing a life to find out how to get through each new screen. | p. 13 (image n12), Cybernoid, Nick's commentp. 13 (image n12), Cybernoid, Kati's commentp. 13 (image n12), Cybernoid, Kati's commentp. 13 (image n12), Cybernoid, Paul's commentp. 13 (image n12), Cybernoid, left comment boxp. 13 (image n12), Cybernoid, lower middle comment boxp. 13 (image n12), Cybernoid, right comment box | Magazine |
| Crash gave Elite's ZX Spectrum version, by David Shea, at £8.99 on cassette and £12.99 on disk, 76% overall in April 1988. Its rating line said that had the game come out when first advertised it would have been an amazing success, "however much more is needed nowadays". One reviewer called it "a great game in the classic Commando mould"; another said it might be worth buying out of curiosity but wouldn't recommend it. | p. 104 (image 104)p. 104 (image 104), ratingsp. 104 (image 104), general ratingp. 104 (image 104)p. 104 (image 104) | Magazine |

| Crash gave the ZX Spectrum version 66% overall in April 1988 (presentation 72%, graphics 75%, playability 66%, addictive qualities 58%). Its first reviewer, Nick, saw "a few powerful graphics" but called the game mostly a waste of time; the second, Paul, called its multi-part loading a farce, its inlay the only part with any suspense, and the game in the end boring and repetitive. | p. 101 (image 101), ratings boxp. 101 (image 101), ratings boxp. 100 (image 100), first reviewer's comment (Nick)p. 100 (image 100), second reviewer's comment (Paul)p. 100 (image 100), second reviewer's comment (Paul)p. 100 (image 100), second reviewer's comment (Paul), closing linesp. 100 (image 100), first reviewer's comment (Nick)p. 100 (image 100), second reviewer's comment (Paul)p. 100 (image 100), second reviewer's comment (Paul) | Magazine |
