Producer: Central Solutions Retail Price: £0.99 Author: Zafarullah Karim Those aliens are at it again! Why can't they leave civilisation alone? in this game, an intrepid spaceman has to prevent four cities from being obliterated by alien attacks. Single-handedly, he has to zip around and destroy the enemy's bombs before they reach the ground. The only way the nasties can be zapped is with a quick burst of laser fire. However, if your reactions are a bit slow, them is an explosion and the spaceman's atoms are spread evenly over a small area of space. Those multi-coloured aliens move at quite a pace! Fortunately, the spaceman has five lives to play with, one of which is lost every time he gets too intimate with an alien craft. The game is over when all these lives have been lost or the four cities have been destroyed. COMMENTS Control keys: Q up, W down, O left, P right, SPACE fire Joystick: Kempston, Protek or AGF, Interface 2 Keyboard play: responsive Use of colour, basic Graphics: poor animation Sound: the odd beep and tinkle Skill levels: one Screens: one
A nasty alien bites the dust, but watch out for that critter in front of you!
