Producer: Anirog Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £5.95 Language: Machine code Author: M. Fox You are the commander of the moonbase defences, out on routine patrol duty in your ATMB (All Terrain Moon Buggy). This amazing vehicle is capable of jumping over holes and craters in the ground and it is fitted with forward and upward firing laser missiles. The moon base outer defences have been penetrated by alien attack forces and that routine patrol is about to become a nightmare! The aliens use low-level attack from saucers which drop bombs. Apart from probably hitting you, these also make more craters in your path. Surface attack comes from tanks which file missiles, and land mines which must be jumped. In addition, there are giant boulders, too big to jump over, which must be blasted away. As well as jumping, your moon buggy can accelerate and decelerate. Speed is needed to get over some of the bigger or double craters. In 'Penetrator' style, the ground and background landscape scrolls from right to left to create the movement. Accelerating the moon buggy causes it move farther towards the right of the screen. The ground will change colour as you progress. COMMENTS Control keys: Cursor keys and 0 to fire Joystick: Kempston, Sinclair 2, AGF, Protek Keyboard play: poor positions but responsive Use of colour: good Graphics: good - fast, detailed and smooth Sound: above average Skill levels: 1 but it gets more frantic as you go on Lives: 5
