I'm not sure who this Acheron is supposed to be, but his game is quite nice.

Loosely based around the asteroids game, you've got to spin around, bounce off walls, and generally shoot the daylights out of the levels of aliens you encounter in your section of space.

On the face of it, it sounds like a pretty boring game. Even the insert doesn't inspire much thought. In play it is very entertaining. The graphics are excellent and the colour is pretty clever. Although Softek's games may not be totally original sometimes, they are of a very high standard (Well, all the Softek games I've seen). The presentation is always good as well.

I managed to get to level 22 after a while. The screen was crammed full of aliens firing, leaving mines and trying to jump on me.

The sound used throughout the program is good. Altogether a very good program which I can recommend to anyone.

P.S.
