Buster Bro's originally started out as an arcade game called 'Pang!' - at least in Europe it did anyway. This CD is an almost exact replica of that arcade game. It was a fiendishly addictive game with that rare 'just one more go' quality, and one of my favourites. 
 
The idea behind the game is a simple but addictive one: giant coloured spheres (balls, or balloons) are dropping from the sky, and only you can help. You are armed with a spear gun with which you can 'pop!' the balloons into 
increasingly smaller ones. The game can be played by one or two players. 
 
There are also many different levels to complete, a latter one is shown to the left... 

The graphics have been converted exactly from the arcade version, and the gameplay remains as good as ever. The 
only complaint that I can make against it, as with many other PC-Engine and TG16 games, is that it is very easy to finish. That said, it is still great fun to play, especially in two player mode...
