Is this the thinking man's arcade strategy game? Most certainly
you need to have an exceptional memory and the ability to think
quickly and the choice of being commander of planetary defence
fleets or pilot, with the deployment of fleets under computer
control. Twenty-one keys give control over direction, spped,
firing of missiles, warp drive, defensive shields, computer
tracking, displays and - one I found useful for checking the
1,300+ word insert (almost as many instructions as I had with
my car) - hold!
A well-thought out and designed program, utilizing the
Spectrum to its limit, which puts you into the cockpit of the
battle-cruiser USS Centurian. Mat (Mission: Alien Termination)
combines the tactical skills of all the planetary leaders in
mankind's last hope against the final all-or-nothing Myon attack.
Similar in style to Timegate, this game requires much
application to learn controls, strategies, stargates, keys and the
meaning of the main display. Why can't I master it - or even shoot
one Myon?
