Space Hi-Way

A healthy mixture of arcade ideas combine as you play the harassed owner of a galactic fuel station.

Armed only with your trusty doublesupersaturated- photoplasmalasertranscentalblaster (!), which varies its power when low on charge, you must stop marauding gangs of four different types of aliens from stealing your fuel and destroying you in the process.

All very well, but passing fuel tankers refuse to land and must be shot out of the sky - by carefully destroying their lifting pods and then catching them as they fall.

All this, plus mutating aliens and the danger of running out of fuel, make Space Hi-Way a well balanced 'fun' game worthy of greatness. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
