| Crash's three reviewers split. Kati found it an enjoyable and addictive game for all its slightly jerky jumping and slowdown; Nick recommended it to anyone wanting a challenging shoot 'em up with good graphics, despite slowdown when many enemies appear; Paul called the scrolling terribly jerky and the game "merely a poor game heavily disguised". The comments box summed up that the slow, unresponsive gameplay kills much of its potential. | p. 88 (image n87), Katip. 88 (image n87), Katip. 88 (image n87), Nickp. 88 (image n87), Nickp. 88 (image n87), Paulp. 88 (image n87), Paulp. 88 (image n87), Comments | Magazine |

Your Sinclair carried an advertisement for a six-game compilation featuring it in March 1988. | p. 37, Spring Surprises | Magazine |

| Crash and Sinclair User both name Mike Lamb as the author of the Spectrum version. Crash's review header gives the producer as Imagine, and Sinclair User's Fax Box gives the label as Ocean. In its Christmas 1988 issue Crash profiled Lamb, of Ocean/Imagine, as best known for Renegade, Combat School (with Andrew Deakin) and Target Renegade, the last with its 90% from issue 52. | p. 22 (image 22), review headerp. 22 (image 22), review header | Magazine |

It describes five multiloaded levels for one player or two at once. Nick called it the best bash 'em up of all time; Kati found it as good as its predecessor, if not better, with jerky flick-screen scrolling its one drawback; Paul said Mike Lamb had done Imagine proud. | p. 22 (image 22), review headerp. 23 (image 23), Nick's commentp. 23 (image 23), Kati's commentp. 23 (image 23), Paul's commentp. 23 (image 23), reviewp. 23 (image 23), ratingsp. 23 (image 23), ratings | Magazine |
