Mark Cerny’s fantastic conversion of the popular Epyx home computer hit works brilliantly on the Master System and remains one of the best games on the console. Sega’s plucky control pad is more than capable of dealing with events like surfing and BMX, or the precision button presses that are required during a bout of flying disc. It really comes into its own when you’re trying to pull off all sorts of silly stunts in footbag, though. A great game that will really put Sega’s control pad through its paces.
