It is one of the few commercial games to run in native mode on the Commodore 128. The 128 version has more levels (three instead of only two levels). The first level, the one missing in the 64 version, has more complex mission objectives.[4]

While the graphics and music were praised, the controls were difficult and the game was considered unplayable by the press.[5]
