Ladies and gents, have I rustled up another one for us this week...it's on an underrated top-view trap-em-up romp, harboring origins that date back to the late '70s, as conceived by the University of Tokyo's Theoretical Science Group (TSG), followed by its Japan-only arcade retooling, c/o Denki Onkyo (serving as the inspiration for Sega/Gremlin's Digger and the like).

Ported a decade later on the Game Boy, you take on the role of a Heian period 'kebiishi' (police officer/sheriff), who's hell-bent on eradicating endless armies of alien lifeforms by savagely burying their asses! I'll bet many can foresee a possibility of a remake/resurrection sometime in this century!

NOTICE - THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY (comment deletions, blocking, etc. - punishment-wise) if a single insult-laced comment is posted revolving around cleanliness/presentation; or comparisons between Yours Truly and other reviewers!
