Steve Turner's fascination with his Seiddab creations continues in his latest blockbuster for the Spectrum.

It's a combination of arcade action and arcade adventure with a big element of strategy thrown in.

A team of crack warriors, known as the Clone Warriors, have been assembled for a secret mission to gain control of the mysterious Stargate sectors which the Sieddab are threatening to use to invade earth.

There are three phases to the game. The strategy phase in which you move your fifteen spacecraft around a map of the universe - Star Raiders-style. Then there is a space combat phase in which you zap around Defender-style over the surface of the various planets wiping out Sieddab forces.

Locate a Seiddab satellite above the planet and you'll be able to beam down to the ground installation where the third phase of the game begins.

Like all Steve's previous games, Astro-Clone is packed with puzzles and problems. It'll take quite some time to crack - even if you're an expert gamester.

The graphics are terrific - especially the explosions!

Astro-Clone is great fun, great value and a great challenge.
