Gameplay
The characters have to gather vinyl discs to throw them at enemies and find the jukebox at the end of each level to make it to the next one. The game can be played by two players simultaneously, and the scrolling screen keeps focus on both characters by pushing the one that gets behind.
Each version has different soundtracks. While the SNES and MS-DOS versions used a combination of Blues Brothers licensed music with original compositions by Dimitris Yerasimos,[14][15] the Game Boy version has a soundtrack composed by Thorsten Mitschele.[16]
