This is the second new title this month on the Arcade Games label and it's a real treat! It is a game for us elderly people whose trigger-fingers can no longer stand up to the rigours of space warfare.

Basically, you are in charge of a helicopter, flying around, picking up men spread acround a screen (several actually as it scrolls!) in a sort of maze. There are four screens and levels but don't think level one is easy (Watch the hazards). The graphics are great - smooth and realistic. Key response is very sensitive though, so don't be surprised if you end up in a wall or two to start with.

Verdict: Great game, worthy of our beloved computer. Buy it!
