Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Chelnov
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Data East
RELEASED:         1992
TYPE:             Action
LANGUAGE:         English and Japanese

PREMISE:          Chelnov is a young scientist turned superhero thanks to
                  his power armor, which he must use in an all-out struggle
                  with an invading alien army that has managed to take him
                  captive.  First he must bust out of jail, and then it's
                  time to lock and load.  Go figure.

IMPRESSIONS:      Decent enough port of a less-than-satisfactory arcade
                  game.  The characters are way too small, and the crappy
                  gameplay is preserved perfectly.  The sound is even worse
                  than the pathetic mix used in the original.  Consider a
                  version for another platform before this one.

VARIATIONS:       Atomic Runner (American and European versions)

Even though this game is very hard and not a lot of fun, I still find myself playing it every few weeks! I do enjoy it!

There's something calming about the smooth and fluid animation in this game. Mmmmmmmm. That's not to say the game's any good. Worth a quick look, but hardly recommended.

Very good action, innovate gameplay between platform and shooter and a lot of fun.
Graphics is very good for a game of its age with big boss, beautiful colour and detailed background, music good. It's an Arcade Perfect (no it's very better than originale one!!) porting by Data East's Chelnov, I think it's the best game of Data East and a little masterpiece.
Overage: 9,5.
