Our Buck seems to have come down in the Universe. Instead of zapping aliens he's reduced to piloting a space bulldozer. He has to use his anti-matter shovels to clear space debris left by hitch-hikers to clear a way for inter-galatic highway No. 42.

For every load of garbage Buck collects he gets 10 am and has to re-fuel on green Zargovian anti-matter.

Your job is to guide Buck, avoiding space junk which earns you a big fine. There's a 100 zats bonus for doing enough work to pass through one of the red star gates. But if you attack them in error you land Buck with another hefty fine.

You may find that Buck's flying dustcart suddenly disappears. That's because it's touched, something dangerous... so watch out. Good value and an amusing game.
