Your Sinclair reviewed the Spectrum version (Domark/Tengen, £9.99 on cassette, £14.99 on disk, 128K) in May 1990. The reviewer, named on the review as Davey, found the teams of seven monochrome robots and slow play too much for the machine, summing it up as "Nice idea but far too ambitious for the humble Spec. Die-hard fans could get some fun out of it." The Final Verdict gave 70° overall, with 70° for life expectancy, 65° for graphics, 70° for addictiveness, and 64° for instant appeal.p. 19 (image 19), Final Verdictp. 18 (image 18), review headingp. 18 (image 18), review headingp. 18 (image 18)p. 19 (image 19)p. 19 (image 19)p. 19 (image 19), DiagnosisMagazine
