Analysis

Martech was a British company that had achieved success with some of its games ('Nemesis',' Vixen ',' Nigel Mansell '...), but that had also tasted failure once in a while (the Spectrum version of' Uchi Mata 'is the most remembered case).

Be that as it may, they had failed to place themselves among the top companies, and that is why in 1989 they decided to flip, change their name and become Screen 7. It was a brief adventure, because they would not pass that year, but it gave them time to Post a handful of games. The initial, with which they intended to consolidate that rudder, was the game we discussed today, based on the film that brought Steven Spielberg to fame in 1975.

It is a fairly faithful recreation of the film (as faithful as it can be in 48, 64 or 128k), but maybe a little bit dull.

To this monotony are added, in the MSX version, the ported graphics of the Spectrum version and the absence of sound (in Spectrum 128k the original melody sounded), which makes the ensemble even more decaffeinated.

Of course, at least the speed is more than acceptable, and lets play.
