Can anyone read German at all? Would anyone like to try contacting the author of the review?
Well, we have Ingo around, or...? Anyway, even my crappy German is enough to tell that this is a four paragraph butchery of the game which the reviewer names as the "worst action game of all time".
I ran it through Babelfish and came out with 50% unreadable junk, but yeah--he seemed rather scathing of the game, didn't he!
The text doesn't mention anything about the platform though, only the "System: Commodore Amiga" tag does. Can one really trust that that is correct? He has however posted this as an Amiga review on another site too.
The site also has reviews of the game on the IBM PC and the C64 platform--all the same review. :-\

I'm starting to lose hope. Still, if someone could contact him just to ensure he's never really played the Amiga version, that would strike a line of enquiry from our list.
There is not much info, contact or otherwise, on the reviewer "AJM/FTL" on this site. Some googling later though... a few forum profiles: http://www.aep-emu.de/user.php?op=userinfo&uname=AJM/FTL&module=NS-User http://retrozone.gamezone.de/phpbb2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3027&; http://www.gamezone.de/user_profil.asp?userid=9986
I assume it's the same guy calling himself both RAMS-es and AJM/FTL?
Wouldn't have a clue! I do recognise a couple of words that seem to be in the same place in each review, though, so yeah, it's probably the same guy. ;-)
