Set in the year 3000, this game creates a fast-action intergalactic war. You take the part of a human/machine hybrid called a Cyborg. Your mission is to battle against deadly robots. You must frantically fire at them until you have destroyed them all.

Then, surprise surprise, you begin again only this time the hyper spheres, saucers and baiters etc move a little faster.

Similar to space invader-type games, Arena 3000 is technically very good with superb graphics and sound effects. It is played using joystick and is fairly easy 10 get used to. I suppose the game's failing is its lack of originality. But, after saying that, this must rank as one of the best of its kind. II can be played by one or two players and also has a facility to record your highest scores. If you like the invader type games this variation is certainly worth a try.

Maybe different skill levels would have improved Arena 3000, although it does get progressively more difficult. I have to admit that getting beyond the fourth arena is something I have yet to achieve.
