Anyone who has seen the film will know Eternia's arch enemy, Skeletor (boo hiss!) has stolen the key to time-travel, hoping to become dictator of the Universe. He-Man (yaay) is hot on his tail, following him through time to the late 20th century.

Masters Of The Universe is split into five separate play areas: In The Streets, you must walk around a Gauntlet-esque floor layout, dodging or assaulting Skeletor's henchmen whilst searching for the locations of the key. Charlie's Shoot-out pits your skill and speed against the evil troops in a game similar to Prohibition (shoot baddies at windows with your crosshairs). Chambering onto the rooftops implements the Disk Battle, where you battle against more enemies in the skies, perched atop a floating antigrav disk. Should you manage to find the eight pieces of key, you will meet face-to-face with Skeletor, in a Final Confrontation where the stakes are high.

While graphics start off with a pathetically small He-Man, later levels are more attractive, especially the Final Confrontation where both He-Man and Skeletor appear in glorious Big-O-Vision! That, combined with some above average effects and a good title tune, makes a reasonable purchase.
