You will probably not find another game which is as frustrating and as motivating at the same time. This IS the hardest of the hard to master. The gameplay is an awkward mixture of a platform-beat'em up à la "Double Dragon" and 2d racing sequences of different kinds.(Those who ever played Battletoads will probably feel a slight wave of aggression rolling in, as they remember the ludicrously challenging racing parts.) Anyway, this is a rare gem among the 8-bit platformers and is well worth a look for those who like the atmosphere of retro-gaming and for those who think they could beat any game.
