Anarchy

Rebels have take over the planet Sentinel 4, and plunged the once-peaceful world into chaos and anarchy.

The insurgency have taken over a huge security complex and have stored all their weapons and ammunition in the warehouses there. In a do or die missin, an ACE Mk II Interceptor tank has been sent in to destroy the rebels' weapons cache and therefore render them harmless.

Anarchy takes the form of a maze/puzzle/blasting game, where the labyrinthine pathways of each warehouse have to be negotiated in order to find and destroy each case. Security droids patrol the area and must be avoided or shot, stunning them momentarily. The droids may then be 'pushed' out of the way by repeated blasting.

When all the cases have been destroyed, the tank is guided to the now visible exit portal where it then reappears in the next warehouse.

The unusual gameplay, neat graphics and brilliant sound effects make Anarchy interesting and entertaining to play. A welcome release from Hewson's newcomer label.
