3D Lunattack

Hewson's on-going battle with the Seiddab aliens has entered a new and bitter phase now that the Abingdon software house has developed the deadly Z5 Luna Hover Fighter.

The new craft was developed after the death in combat of Flight Lieutenant Talbot in his ill-fated C64, and you can fly the Z5 if you've got a spare £7.95 with which to purchase 3D Lunattack.

Although 3D Lunattack churns out the same tired old scenario of shooting down the aliens (what's wrong with aliens anyway?), it does have some original features.

The best of these is the sound track which starts after the game has loaded. An interview between Briggs and his commanding officer takes you through the objectives and controls of the Z5. Unfortunately, this is not synchronised with the on-screen display - an amusing frill nevertheless.

The quality of the graphics was very disappointing - especially bearing in mind the £8 price tag.
