I too was a huge fan of this in the ZX Spectrum. It was a hugely yellow game back then

Not many people saying what it's like. I loved the Amiga original TBH and maybe I'm seeing things through rose coloured spectacles but I would rate this as 'okay'. I loved the simplicity of the original, fewer power ups, faster gameplay, this whole spot the difference and a flying meter are amongst the things that spoil it a little for me. Thankfully it's a better conversion than Rainbow Islands though (couldn't be any worse IMO). I may dip into it every now and again 6/10...maybe.

This port is really bad.

I loved this game on Amiga and C-64. After playing this port I had to try the original arcade game with Mame which I remembered to be much better and the best verion of NZS.

This port has two major flaws. First the controls aren't responsive enough and the Kiwi moves way too slow. Secondly the level design really suck compared to original. Added touch screen elements just make the game worse.

Original also had much more different and funny weapons than this port, although I've only played this port till the first boss so I don't know if there is going to be more weapons.

It makes me mad that they make these crappy ports.

and the touch screen stuff sux, thankfully there is not much of it

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    Mame should be two sets one for preservation of everything and one set for people who just want to play and enjoy the old old ganes
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, Shouldn't preservation be legal tho?

    I swear like 99% of arcade games wouldn't even exist these days outside of MAME the arcade machines are old and busted very few ever saw any sort of home conversion

    It's so unfair, maybe AI can save us lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
