No prizes for guessing that this is another 3D shoot-'em-up game in which you sit in your nice padded pilot's seat trying to despatch the latest invaders to a land from which they can never return.

So what is special about this one? Well, it certainly is the best, yes *the* best, graphical screen I have yet seen for the Dragon. To be honest I had despaired of ever seeing anything this good. There is always a price to pay, however, and that is paid in the lack of colour. The screen is only black and white but the detail is well worth it and the colour comes back when you explode which, if you're like me, is quite regularly. The game has all the other features you would expect: radar screens, fuel gauges, speed changes and a mothership to dock upon when needed.

The only disappointing feature is the sound which is on the pathetic side of inadequate. While this is poor enough to lose a star in the ratings, anyone wanting this type of game should give it a whirl.
