Title
I'm over the Moon with this one, yee-haw.

That 12-bar slap bass is too hilarious. The game itself is easy and enjoyable, you automatically go forward only making sure to jump over chasms and shooting obstacles and ships that go above you. It's a real keeper.

The Atari 8-bit version is legit one of the best ports, as it's much faster paced and the gravity is more "terrestrial" so to speak. Be sure to play it only once you've had your serving of the arcade version. To boot, the Atari 8-bit version comes with a handy continue function!

Title
Houston, We Have a Winner
A very fun and cute game, Moon Patrol wasn't the type of thing that I would spend a lot of time playing, but it always brought a smile to my face. It was also about one of three games that my sister was any good at, so it was an easy enough thing to get her to stay in the arcade longer if we could keep returning to it every now and then.

For the most part I played Moon Patrol at the Hoyts cinema complex on George Street, and the only time I had a truly golden run while playing I had to abandon the machine because the movie was about to start. Blimey!
