Player's Review

"During a raid by the wicked MOLEMEN, agents of the evil MUMM-RA entered the CATS-LAIR, kidnapped several members of the Thundercats team, and stole the eye of Thundera, the magical jewel which holds the mystical power of the sword of omens. LION-O was out on a mission when the raid took place but vows that, as the eye was given into his safe- keeping, he must go to the Castle Plun-dar, rescue his team- mates and retrieve the eye. Can LION-O battle his way past MUMM-RA's henchmen in the forests and underground caverns, and return the power to the sword of omens and glory to the Thundercats name?"

Another licence that has little to do with the source material. You plan as Lion-O hacking and slashing your way left or right through 14 levels. There are many death pits to jump across and enemies constantly spawning in front and behind requiring your attention. Along the way there will be level themed powerups to find that give extra time, lives or a different weapon. Your mission is to go in, fetch the eye (not actually something to find) and go back through the levels and return to your base.

Not much more to it than that, pretty much the same as the Spectrum game I previously played and I suspect using the same assets with a dash of colour added. It has a music track by Rob Hubbard but not his best work in my opinion although it seems to have it's fans. It's one of those that seems to give the emulated sid a hard time and likely only sounds correct on the sid revision it was composed on. Maybe Bomb Jack II's in game soundtrack would have been more suitable. The game loops back round to level one after completing so you can rack up more score!
