Alien Insects
By Macronics Systems
Spectrum 48K

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #31

Macronics are doing their best to rid our world of micro-pests - first ants, now invading insects. The outstanding feature in this game is the sound, which exploits the Spectrum's ability very fully. The graphics aren't bad, either.

You must jet about space with your backpack and laser gun doing away with the advancing insects. They must be hit in the head to disintegrate. They come in increasing numbers and ever faster. If you are very successful a box-like terror appears that is most difficult to evade.

The presentation is excellent - there are one or two new variations in the use of colour, particularly in the Hall of Fame and instruction sequences. In the latter, the rippling colour is actually a nuisance but you can stop it if you like. This is a good game.
