This game is a mixture of Thrust and Scramble - you pilot a ship through the Caverns of Eriban to get supplies through to subterranean mine depots.

You begin with seven supply ships, which may seem a lot but you'll need them *all* to run the gauntlet of enemy missiles and gunfire and the natural hazards that lie in your way. For example, a bad landing - either too hard or just off-target - will cost you your ship. Luckily, you continue the game where the last one got to so you can make some progress even if you do lose your ship.

You pick up supplies on the surface and then descend into the depths looking for the tell-tale flashing red lights that mark an unsupplied depot. However, just as you're about to land a wall opens and you're hit by a missile. That'll teach you to hang around red light districts!

The walls of the cavern are just as dangerous and it takes considerable skill to navigate through the cavern without losing your ships. To add to your problems you can only carry five supplies at a time.

A cheap and cheerful game that will provide food for thought for software-hungry Atari owners.
