***  by nickwinney. Comment: "This game has particular poignancy for me, as it was over the shoulder of my soon to become best friend that I first witnessed the most excellent "out of the screen" cave-mummies attacking. This was some 14 years ago! By todays standards, this game would not appear anything special, but the 4 way scrolling fantasy shooter/platform waas an excellent challenge and the clear basis for later hits such as GODS.

***** by Lord_Baron. Comment: "This was one of, if not, the best action/adventure games of the 1980's. I wish they would transfer the game over to the gameboy advance or another console or computer as a claasic game for home." 2003-04-28 13:06:28Z

***** by pkostrze. Comment: "This is my absolute, hands-down, favorite arcade game of all time. The game goes on forever, it seems. I'd drop quarter after quarter in and keep on plugging away... the enemies never stopped coming, but I had to get to the next level, buy the next upgrade, clear the next dungeon. As if it wasn't hard enough you had a time limit so you had to balance your need to clear every enemy and get every item with the need to get the heck out of the level in a timely manner. The end bosses were well done and just hard enough. All-in-all, a VERY fun game with hours of entertainment and some of the best vintage sprite graphics out there... now go grab a sack of quarters and get out there!" 2004-10-12 07:41:42Z

***** by Nivek. Comment: "The only game I can beat with one quarter!! Any time I want to kill nearly two hours I go to any arcade that still has it and play. I'm really in trouble when I get two credits for a quarter, I'm stuck there for four hours!!" 2005-06-06 11:49:32Z

***** by bnsfman. Comment: "the first time that i played blacktiger, it lasted only two minutes for me to loose all my men. i only played blacktiger after that, i got to the end of the game, finshing it without looseing any of my men. it would take me over an hour or two. they took the game out and i have never found it since, but it is the best........." 2005-07-29 20:01:24Z
