Another clone of the Galaxians game, with a few minor variations. For those who suffer from amnesia, Galaxians is similar to Space Invaders but instead of the aliens plodding rhythmically down the screen they break off and dive at you, screaming as they come.

Birds Of Prey is well presented and packaged, loading in two parts: instructions and game itself. It has a joystick option.

The graphics are fast-moving and clear but the sound effects are pretty average. The new twist are death bombs which stroll down the screen. If they hit bottom you lose a life.

The game is very addictive and a must for all Model A owners, although Model B users would be better off buying Acornsoft's Arcadians.
