Not really. He’d already done Mazes and Monsters as a written review.

Hey Spoony,

Just recently found your site via tvtropes.

As it happens, I used to play this game at a friend’s house and win it when I was like eight. You may not have realized this, but the Atari has two difficulty toggle switches. As I recall, one of them turns the FBI agent on and off, and the other one turns the scientist on and off. You turn them both off, and you can actually finish the game and see the ending. So weirdly enough, I actually remember the game being slightly fun. I occasionally tried turning on the switches, quickly realized that it sucked to have the pieces stolen, and turned them back off.

So anyway, if you ever do want to actually see the ending, just put it in easy mode.
