Whoever Acheron was, the poor guy probably ended up having a hard time! Defending sectors of space from the Gors' warships isn't all fun and games.

The backdrop to this game is twinkling stars, and in the centre of the screen is a grid - what purpose it serves is not explained in the inlay, but it certainly makes 'zapping zose aliens' a real hard task!

With your Asteroid-style ship, you thrust, brake and blast away, clearing outer space of the Gor menace. Ah, got 'em - a sigh of relief - oh no! There's more and more... and more!

There are six types of meanies, the first being quite tame, but by the time you get to the sixth wave, they're firing at you with mindless abandon, whilst not forgetting to ram you at every opportunity - and this is only level 1!

You've a choice of four levels, the fourth pretty well fills the screen with aliens all ready and waiting to kill you - if they can. The options include a training mode, which is great to get the hang of the keys and to see what aliens you're going to be plagued with on later levels.

There is also sound on/off, instructions and a high score table on which you will feature if you score over 200 points.

The sound is quite authentic with the zap, zap of your blaster and a big explosion when you cop it. The graphics are colourful but small and the game looks rather like an Asteroids clone.

However, it does have a good feel to it and is definitely fun to play. Go to it, mega-zappers!
