Much to my surprise, "shoot the aliens" games are still being produced in large numbers.

This rather unimaginative offering is yet another.

This is a son of Space Invaders cum Galaxians cum Arcadia game which has none of the strengths of those games mentioned.

You control a space ship at the bottom of the screen and you must destroy waves of nasties and meteors which move from the top.

The attacks come in three waves, each with slightly different attacking tactics. The first and third waves are quite tough, the middle one is ludicrously easy.

Destroy three waves and (surprise, surprise) you gel a nastier lot.

The graphics are tolerable albeit very flickery. As for sound, forget it.

I'm afraid that when one considers the delights that Sumlock is producing for the C64, this can only be seen as a dead loss.
