Battle Through Time

Time travel perfected, you've been sent off in your all-terrain plasma buggy to take part in seven battles in different time zones, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, WWIII, War Mutants and In the Beginning (where T. Rex is the baddie).

You can shoot upwards at the biplanes, bombers, jet fighters, choppers, satellites, mutant boxes and hands, and pterodactyls that are busy strafing you, and ahead at the boulders, debris and ground forces in your path.

And that's the trick - you have to look in two directions at once, up and forward, and as the action gets more frantic, your chances of avoiding everything depend on rapid eye movement and decisive action. In each zone you have eo travel ten miles to get to the teleportation point, and do it in a limited time to avoid being catapulted into the void.

Great graphics, smooth action, speed functions and a continuous play feature make this much better than comparable games such as Moon Buggy, and it has that indefinable quality that makes one respond to a game.
