Therefore as your unit collide with an enemy robot both sprites will 'glue' together and start flickering on the screen until one lose it's energy. This is very annoying and I can't recommend buying this game... which is a shame 'cause the original is still one of my all-time favs !!!

The atmosphere is phenomenal - from the "sound" of the decks to the tension as you open a door and go into a new section; what robots are lurking in there, and can you survive? The transfer section is one of the BEST mini-games/subgames ever. Have to agree, it’s a classic.
