This game is a great classic arcade / retro console game from the mid 80's. Its nostalgic look, feel and game play offer a "back in the day" flash back feel to the over all experience. I used to play this game back in high school on an old computer that would be hilarious by today’s standards. The looping game play never gets old to those who remember the old school Oregon Trail days when all games had a pixilated, one tone color graphics, and simple key board controls.

The looping game play never gets old to those who remember the old school Oregon Trail days when all games had a pixilated, one tone color graphics, and simple key board controls. The endless and looping game play gets a little old. When you think that you finally finish the game it starts all over again. It is a representation of
the pre Mario Bros days in that the game-play could go on and on and on. The timing of this was great and that is why there were fights in the class room to get to the computer first, even though we were playing off of a five and a half inch disc.
I would recommend this as a history lesson to anyone that still plays any type of console or computer gaming system. It is a true representation of what the action packed and slick graphics of today’s games came from and the hard work that it took to fit all of that on a few kb of disc space.
