At last an original plot to a game! The object of Atom Smasher is to stop the meltdown of a nuclear reactor. You control a 'remote controlled super-laser', your job being to shoot a proton, thus cooling the reactor down. But there are problems in the shape of electrons that collide with you, depriving you of one of your three lives.

The program loads in three parts: title screen, instructions and the game itself. There's a joystick option. The program is well presented but the game is a bit of a disappointment, being spolit by the difficulty in controlling the gun. The sound effects are good and the graphics adequate.

Probably the main buyers of this game would be the Model A owners. Model B owners can find much better games - although it's an interesting idea.
