... game that likely exists in many forms for free on the internet today, so it’s a little strange to imagine paying twenty pounds or more for it in 1991. The artificial gravity and bouncy, rubbery walls make it more of an adrenaline-fuelled survival game than a simple race for no reason (or for points, which equates to no reason when playing on a read-only Sega cartridge that can’t save them), and like most games that offer a two-player option, it adds to the enjoyment.
