Producer: Avalon Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: Language: Machine code and Basic Author: M.L. Knights Omadan Attack is a space shoot em up in the tradition of Crystal's Cyberzone. The type of game where you have to shoot away the thick forcefield protecting a ship which is firing at you, before you can blow it up. The mothership - a sort of yellow Tie Fighter shape, is at the top of the screen, firing laser blasts downwards through its thick protective shield. Your ship moves across at the bottom of the screen tiring up. To either side at the base there are laser blast suppliers as you can only fire 20 blasts before needing to refuel. Additionally, your ship is unable to destroy the mothership once it's exposed, so you must call up a more powerful cannon to do the job. This cannon is no use for getting rid of the powerful forcefield however. The cannon will appear immediately below wherever your ship is placed at the time of call-up and will vanish again after firing a shot or if you lose a life. COMMENTS Control keys: 1/2 left/right, 8 = call up cannon 7 = fire cannon, 0 = fire laser Joystick: none Keyboard play: responsive Use of colour: poor Graphics: fast but small and very primitive Sound: good Skill levels: 1 Lives: 4 Screens: based on an old game idea with a few new additions that seem to have little point

The mothership gets in an accurate shot on your laser base. The moth-eaten block near the top is the forcefield.
