I just posted about BJB, and I have to agree with this.  I *almost* took the
game back, but after playing a couple games the actual play feel won me
over.

Data East is also making Ultrabots, which I would probably purchase sight-
unseen if some other company than Data East were doing it.  Now I'll wait to
see what others think before I buy it based on the overall quality of BJB.
