Computer aliens come in all shapes and sizes, usually more nastier than the last, in this game they are very pretty - but deadly.

A large moth flutters top centre screen dropping vertical bombs. Each side of it are five boxes which gradually fill with small moths, when full, a moth is released to dive and bomb your laser which you control by Z and X with "copy" to fire.

If you destroy 200 of these then mummy moth, usually indestructable, attacks and also becomes vulnerable. For arcade addicts, this is a version of Zygon, very fast and true to the original.

Instructions are supplied on screen, if required, with an option to start at any of the six difficulty levels.

The cassette is simply printed - this company does not go for glossy, exaggerated advertising either - yet this game is as good as any on the market.

The Beeb's features are all well used - graphics, colour and sound - in fact, these moths are decidedly noisy.

I tried my idiot act (easy for me!) but failed to crash it or discover any bugs - apart from the moths. A hall of fame chart is included for the highest scores, also a joystick option.
