There's some minor issues with sound emulation, just a few pops on intro music, but seems great in game. Plenty of emulation options and save states, and most importantly, very low input lag! (Bluetooth 8bitdo controller). The reason I recommend this is that it's a nice little platform shmup for the price, that is actually longer than most Amiga shmup type games. There's decent power ups, and music the entire way whilst playing. They have also auto assigned jump to a button so they have it as a 2 button game. However, pressing up still jumps, and an option to disable that, just to go that extra mile, would certainly be appreciated. All Amiga platform games were like that though. I am absolutely looking forwards to playing this one right through again. I know it's not a short game for the genre cause I owned it in my A500 days, so I knew the game well and just wanted to test how it felt to play so I could decide whether to recommend it or not. I certainly do recommend it. It's worth the price. PS it even has music and fx together for the entire game, and that can not be said for many Amiga games! For new players, here's a tip. If you run out of ammo on a power up, hold fire and down then go left or right to select a different weapon or your unlimited ammo base weapon. Cheers:)
