Description: Coleco's first release for Intellivision has been called "intentionally inferior" over the years. Either the folks at Coleco just weren't willing or able to take advantage of what the system had to offer, of they were trying to make the Intellivision version look bad in comparison to the version on their own ColecoVision system.

Santulli Slant: Yes, it seems third party developers had some problems getting the most out of the Mattel console’s 16-bit technology. It really shows here. The familiar looking game looks strangely unfamiliar on Intellivision, with odd sounds, slow-motion action, and horrific controls. Coleco got better with Ladybug and Turbo later on, but this early effort just plain sucks. [Gr: 2, So: 2, Ga: 3, Ov: 3]
