Mean Machines reviewed the NES version in August 1992 (Sales Curve, £35.99, released in August; three lives, two continues, two skill levels) and gave it 73%. Its reviewer noted the game had been out on computers for years as Nebulus, and blamed collision detection and the lack of a password for a game that didn't live up to expectations.	`image 59, fact boximage 59, fact boximage 59, ratingsimage 59, comment signed RADimage 59, comment signed RADimage 59, comment signed RAD`	Magazine
