It is, feels like a game that needed a couple more weeks off polish. Still a fun blast but you can see there is room for improvement. There was a follow up released but the majority had jumped up a generation by the time it was released in 1993.

I love games like this, and I was working my way through the Amiga version. Then I came to a level that I gave up on. It wasn't a puzzle that caused me to quit, but rather an action part. The level was filled with dozens of enemies (I think they were bugs) moving back and forth between just two spaces each. The timing to get past them had to be exact. It was nerve-wracking because just one mistake and you'd have to start over. I could get past a few of them, but I would invariably end up getting hit by one of them. After many attempts, I gave up. I could have looked up a code list and skipped that level, but I didn't want to do that.

It's a very weird game. BAck then all sorts of ideas were thrown at the wall to see what worked. This is actually the second game to use this system as Andy Gavin also released Dream Zone a year earlier which uses Digitised Graphics and is more of a traditional point and clicker.

It's odd that the name was changed. I played the NES version afterwards (never owned a NES so I'm coming in blind with most of these games) and the SNES version does seem a touch harder, especially the first boss slog. The NES game is also the best looking NES game I've played so far whilst the SNES version is passable. Still, not releasing a completed game is very odd as it must have represented a fair investment.

The original Anime run was April to December '87 and the game was released in May of that year so I'm assuming they were co-produced at the same time, or Hayashida was already making an Impossible Mission clone and the licence got slapped on.

The mechanics are very similar with timed wheelies to keep up speed over jumps. I think Excite was a little more 'puzzley' in terms of track layouts and is certainly a more in depth game.

No Internet, no videogames and, in the UK, three TV channels. Word of mouth that this was a must see film meant there were queues around the block to get into the cinema. Despite the now, rather dodgy, special effects, it remains a superbly paced thriller with a terrific script and outstanding performances.
