Written with Return Of The Jedi in mind, you are cast as Luke Clearthinker (!) and - surprise, surprise - you take on the entire rebel fleet single-handed! Fortunately, you have at your command one of the most up-to-date starfighters, equipped with long and short range scanners.

The damage status meter tells you the condition of the ship, and direction indicators show which way you are travelling. Warning neons indicate when the rebels are attacking and there is a large "aliens left" display. Fast and slow travelling proton bombs are available to blast these undesirables.

There are ten sets of 18 aliens to be destroyed, all different in shape and power. The graphic displays make this a truly three-dimensional mind-blowing game. There are meteorite storms which really do appear to be coming at you. Your proton bombs do seem to be travelling off into the distance. The program uses 700 defined graphics as well as good sound effects.

Instructions are in the program but appear on screen rather ponderously due to a rather involved teleprint-style format. There is a hall of fame, joystick option, and a hold/start facility.
