Crossbow is a target shooter that was originally released in the Arcade in 1983.
+ Once you start collecting friends, there's a sense of attachment and making sure you protect them is a real responsibility!
+ Wide range of enemy types, as well as environmental hazards and scenic interaction that adds to the immersion.
+ Build up to the Evil Master is brilliantly ghoulish and there's some neat graphical effects once he's defeated.
+ Light-gun offers pinpoint precision, but the game still plays well with a d-pad crosshair thanks to its reactive movements.
- Can be disorientating unless you create a map, as the coloured route options don't reveal their path until chosen.
- SFX are abrasive and the sprite work resembles something you might see on the Colecovision rather than an 8-bit console.
