The setting was always oddly more engaging than the gameplay. Playing the arcade cabinet was a revelation after years of wondering what exactly half the enemies were supposed to be on the NES version.

Stood out enough that I still remember playing it, but it wasn't very good.

Fun concept that should make a good arcade game, but it misses the mark somehow.

Anyone else see the Paperboy episode of Captain N, where the twist was that the paperboy was illiterate, and that protected him from the mind control ink in the newspapers, and he had to learn to write the word "AWAKE" in de-mind-control paint to snap everyone out of it? That was neat, and I think it gave me overly high standards for this game, which has a fun premise that the gameplay doesn't live up to.

Torturous... but can be fun in small doses.

I actually kinda liked this simplicity of this game, and played it on purpose regularly more than a decade after it first came out. Doesn't mean that it's any good.

Memorably charming in its way but I don't think I've ever really been sucked into it for more than about fifteen or twenty minutes at a time.
