This is the second of a trilogy of 3D games featuring the Great Seiddab Empire. You must save mankind from imminent destruction by destroying the Seiddab command base on the moon.

The game is played from the cockpit of your Z5 Luna Hover Fighter. Craters rush towards your ship at an alarming speed and then the first wave of defence appears: Dab Tanks firing Yysan missiles. Next, you fly across a mountainous mined area. If you survive this, you enter the final zone: silos firing Hewstron missiles. At last, you reach the heavily-armed command base which can take several hits to destroy.

The instructions are very good although they don't explain the choice of control keys fully. There is also an appalling soundtrack - a James Bond style briefing. This is also available on the Currah Micro-speech unit.

This is an excellent program - the 3D graphics are stunning and it is highly addictive. It's not easy though. I spent a long time plummeting to the ground before I even saw the base. I have yet to destroy it.
