Agreed, it's not a very playable game. Definitely cannot hold a candle to the C64 version. We have to consider that it is a C16 version though, so they had MUCH less room to work with, and since there are no hardware sprites... A lot of the code is spent on doing the graphics.
There are quite a few other commercial C16 releases that are much worse than their C64 counterparts. To me, Green Beret is always the first that comes to mind (probably cause I played the C64 version at a friend's place). In general, the action/shooter/platformer is such a big genre on the C64, but honestly, I can't think of a good example on our platform.
