Zzap!64 reviewed the Commodore 64 and Amiga versions together in August 1990 and made both Sizzlers, with 92% overall each. The header gives Domark/Tengen, at £9.99 and £14.99 for the Commodore 64 and £19.99 for the Amiga. The review describes 100 waves, each completed by points, tiles survived, or Klaxes, with a warp screen at the start and every five waves; the Commodore 64 game fits in a single load, and the Amiga game adds a simultaneous two-player mode on a split screen. Phil called it "even better (and, believe it or not, more addictive) than Tetris" and, on both machines, "by far the best Tengen conversion yet". Rated parts: Commodore 64 presentation 80%, graphics 71%, sound 69%, hookability 92%, lastability 91%; Amiga presentation 85%, graphics 74%, sound 80%, hookability 92%, lastability 91%.image 5, contentsimage 10, Klax review, headerimage 10, Klax reviewimage 10, Klax reviewimage 10, Klax reviewimage 11, Klax reviewimage 11, Klax review, ratings (C64)image 11, Klax reviewimage 11, Klax reviewimage 11, Klax review, ratings (C64)image 11, Klax review, ratings (C64)image 11, Klax review, ratings (Amiga)image 11, Klax review, ratings (Amiga)p. 11 (image 11), Klax review, C64 ratings box, read on the page imagep. 11 (image 11), Klax review, reviewers, read on the page imageimage 11, Klax review, ratings (C64)image 11, Klax review, ratings (C64)image 11, Klax review, ratings (Amiga)image 11, Klax review, ratings (Amiga)image 11, Klax review, ratings (Amiga)p. 11 (image 11), Klax review, Amiga ratings box, read on the page imageMagazine
