Producer: Perfection Memory Required: 16K Retail Price: £5.50 Language: Machine code Author: T. Williams The intro on the cassette inlay immediately sets the scene for what is going to be a shoot em up, obviously. But it turns out to be a pretty fast game. Once again, you're Earth's last remaining hope as you battle your way through 15 waves of alien attackers. Standard rules apply, i.e. left/right and fire all from the base of the screen. Your ship is dwarfed by the various aliens which attack in groups of five. These move about the screen in a fairly random pattern of jiggles, often reaching right down to the base line. In addition, there are meteors falling constantly from the top of the screen and now and again one will remain on the base line as a mine. Should two land, the Force Fighter can get badly hemmed in - fortunately they dissipate themselves. Shooting an alien craft results in its falling straight down on top of you. Between each survived wave a bonus score is added to your main score dependent upon the time taken. COMMENTS Control keys: CAPS SHIFT/Z = left/right, P = fire Joystick: Kempston Keyboard play: fast and responsive Use of colour. average to good Graphics: good although aliens are a little jerky Sound: above average and good tunes Skill levels: progressive Lives: 5 Screens: 15
