Review:

This looks like it was written using the commercial isometric arcade game designer available at the time. If so, it is a good example of the genre, demonstrating the weakness of using such a program. These programs can produce games with good graphics and easy to use controls but they do not help when it comes to actually designing good and imaginative gameplay. This particular example has none whatsoever and even manages to slow down to a crawl on screens where there is absolutely nothing happening.
