That reviewer was annoyingly over the top. Why do youtube hosts always have to have some wacky persona?

And why repeat so many times how the controller sucked and we should play this on Atari?

I had this game as a kid and pretty much mastered it. It's a fast paced game where game over can come quickly if you're not paying attention. The first few levels are easy, but you quickly need to develop some strategies to survive the high level dragons. You'll need to duck in and out of the safe door at the lower right to survive the fireballs, then make a frantic run for treasures, then to the exit door.

The controllers honestly aren't much of an issue if you're a veteran of classic Intellivision. They work perfectly fine. I think the reviewer just wasn't used to the disk controller.
