Last year's arcade conversion from The Edge re-released under their new cheapo label. Your ship has been infested by aliens, so a bomb has been set to destroy them and the ship. A load of your comrades have been slimed up by the aliens and you and a mate have to roam around releasing them, then get to the exit before the ship does the big firework.

In spirit, the conversions are accurate to the arcade game, featuring similar level layouts, aliens and extra weapons, and some suitably gross boss monsters. They're all playable enough too, but they could all have been better. One fault which seems to plague all of them, is the slow screen scroll. It can't keep up with the players so they can run to the edge of the screen and get dobbered by a monster that suddenly appears out of nowhere.

The graphics are a bit scrappy and the sound could have been better, but this is the fastest and most playable version.

Clear graphics, but loads of monsters makes it really tough to get anywhere.

Numerous graphical quirks such as being able to walk faster than bullets make this very confusing to play.

Naturally the best graphically, and it even features (very hissy) speech. Suffers from scrolling problems but it's still quite playable.
