No. this is not a conversion of the popular Imagic title. Good news: Instead it's an unauthorized rip-off of Drol. an amusing side-scrolling maze shooter that achieved modest success during the 1980s. Unfortunately. it's really slow and lacking a lot of the original's whimsical charm. The original involved maneuvering a little guy with a jet pack around a four-level maze. protecting children by touching them and shooting the cartoonish nightmares bouncing around in pursuit with "reality pills." Here you're a diver rescuing your companions from various sea creatures that aren't nearly as cute or innovative. Despite all the major flaw of running at about half the speed of the real thing. it's tempting to bump the grade up a bit because basics such as control. gameplay and so on are solid. but since it's a clone instead of original title it stays here.
