1st February 1987
A Surprise!
Some of you may recall that the last Kansas release, Loony Loco, was fairly comprehensively savaged in these columns. It got a fair old mauling too from those of you who'd bought it and wrote in to express your distaste - one reader even sent in a Your Computer listing called Locomotion which he claimed was the same game (I don't know - the thought of typing in a long listing and then having two copies of Loony Loco! Can you imagine...?)
It's with pleasure, then, that I'm able to report that the next release Battlezone Six (again bought with my own hard-earned pennies as they don't believe in review copies) is an amusing, compulsive if fairly simple little game.
Your spaceship has to avoid or shoot a whole host of aliens of various formats which swirl, drop, crawl or wriggle across the screen; simple idea, simply programmed, still a lot of fun.
If you enjoy fairly mentally undemanding games then you might enjoy this - it's not a classic but I've had some fun with it.
