Airbase Invader

Instead of all that mindless killing of little green aliens, how about trying your hand at what CP Software claim is a 'non-sexist, non-violent, satirical arcade adventure'.

Clones of 'President Raygun' are on the loose in the bunkers beneath Greenham Common. They are all set on pressing the red nuclear attack button, which would be the end of the world.

Just in the nick of time, our heroine Peace Woman Annie arrives on the scene. She has worked her way through the barbed wire and sneaked past the guards. You take control of her just as she has entered the complex of underground bunkers and must help her to find the President and stop him from pressing the button by 'using her feminine charms on him'.

At this stage you'll probably think that you're in for a new kind of arcade game. Well, you'd be wrong, all you get is an extremely good version of Robotron. Each of the rooms in the complex contains a number of guards, ranging from a photographer called Harry Hardnose who follows Annie around, to Old Bill who just happens Lobe a bright blue colour.

Of course dear old Annie isn't powerless against them, she's able to blow kisses at them - with devastating effect. Watch out for the nasty Iron Lady though, she's impervious to Annie's smackers.

An indicator at the bottom of the screen tells Annie where she'll find President Raygun. Travel between floors is by ladders that are situated around the complex.

A game that should appeal to just about everyone. If you happen to be a fan of the Robotron style of game then this is probably the best around for the Spectrum. Go and raid an airbase today, just don't let Old Bill catch you.
