I played this game a whole lot as a kid. It's got good music and a fun gameplay loop that continuously gets tougher. But it's so low resolution you have to play in a smaller window. I'd love to see this game get released and be compatible with higher resolutions without becoming a pixelated mess. It was great fun learning the 3 levels and memorizing all possible flag spawn locations and trying to see how high a level I could get to before being beaten. I pull this game up every so many years to re-experience it.
When I was younger I never understood how to play this game. I would just ram myself into the CPU. It wasn't until i saw my parents played, is when I figure out the right way.
