The version for NTSC-C64 machines plays better when it comes to this, but even this version is slower than the Arcade version of the game (1) the overall-speed is to slow, especially on a PAL-C64. These things should be improved in this old version: First of all - it's not a bad game, but it has some weak points, which kills the fun a little bit. I can tell some of the disadvantages of the old Namco-version on the C64.

Bonus points are awarded for squashing multiple enemies with a single rock, and dropping two rocks in a stage will cause a bonus item to appear in the middle of the screen, which can be eaten for points.
