A compulsive space game, full of thrills, but loses ratings for its limited use of high resolution graphics. The action slows noticeably as the screen is filled because only the plot and draw routines of the Atom appear to have been used.

The screen gives you a pilot's view of the flight deck with laser gunsights to zap the enemy ships as they prepare to invade Earth.

The top section of the screen shows your score so far, highest score, laser and fuel levels and long range scan.

Two keys control up and down movement and another two are for right and left, making it a little difficult to fire with the space bar.
