Mark said it was one of the best arcade games ever made. He noted it was a definitive improvement over the Atari 2600 version. He said this was a very faithful representation of the Arcade version. He said the challenge in the game was controlling the bird. He praised the packaging art. He also says that the game makes you suspend disbelief when the bird changes direction with the tire screeching sound. He said he never owned it on the 2600 until he started the show. He recommended it.
