This space game is reminiscent of the final stages of Star Wars; this time you are Darth Vader in pursuit of our hero Luke. You must blast the attackers with your laser before your fuel is exhausted or you are destroyed by mines. Your gun sights must be lined up with the victims who dodge and dive out of the way.

The display is simulated 3D and reasonably effective with many levels of skill. You have control over volume, which of course can be near-deafening with the Oric, and also key selection to align your gun sights and fire.

As you progress, the skill required increases but on the higher levels luck is probably more important than skill since there is little time to manoeuvre your sights before the mines destroy you.

I did not experience any problems loading, but no slow back-up is supplied for those less fortunate. The game operated smoothly with just the obligatory scattering of spelling mistakes. Overall, an enjoyable game but perhaps too short of variation to become addictive.

P.S.W.
