This is one of those games that was a darling on the old Macintosh
computers, and EA thought it would make a great Sega Genesis game. Just
add color, awkward aiming, mushy controls, and there you have it.
No, wait, something was still missing. How about some incredibly
repetitive and annoying "voice" clips? Yes, that's right, you can hear enemies calling out "Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya" until your ears detach
themselves from your head and walk out on you.
EA's ports of PC games of the era were really hit or miss. Some of the
stuff was pretty good, and then you get stuff like this, Sword of Sodan,
and Zany Golf.
