A Blaster Master action platformer with a versatile vehicle and vertical exploration. The NES classic heritage is respected, but the 32-bit port lacks sparkle. Pleasant for fans of the original formula.

Collector interest

A PS1 take on Sunsoft's Blaster Master, kept Japan-exclusive as Blaster Master: Blasting Again. The lack of a Western release and the Sunsoft name prop up its NTSC-J value, with sealed copies scarce. The 32-bit version honours the vehicle-plus-vertical-exploration formula without dazzling. Aimed at series fans and import collectors of PS1 action-platformers.
