Beat this while sipping coffee on a sunny Sunday morning and life couldn't be better. The platonic ideal of a Sega arcade title. Luscious spring and summer sound effects complementing an ear-grooving and slap-bassing OST that features narration from an earnest announcer-man who will helpfully guide you through a core gameplay hook that's simple enough to pick up in the first twenty seconds but will still challenge you enough that you'll wanna slip another virtual 50p into the slot to hear the coin jingle noise each time you miss out on TIME BONUS! (+5 sec).

The final boss is straight out of Dragon Quest and proves cheeky little Sega AM1 knew exactly what they were cooking up with this game. The credits are... surprisingly beautiful! Heading over to YouTube after the game to cop some more Bass Beats and finding out that there are young fisherman out there playing the soundtrack while they go out and catch real fish was the icing on the cake.

This game is a certified classic! And it's 89p on Steam right now! No excuse! That's basically the price you'd have paid for a single play of this in the arcades back in 1997!
