Well, you can't avoid comparisons and this one just asks to be likened to Knight Lore. Your quest is to search the maze (yes, yet another maze!), find, collect and return to the master computer, 24 objects. To achieve this you will have to solve the problem of how to disable 32 force fields, use the nine teleport terminals and use the master refuel and master return to base units.

This is a game to get your fingers in a twist as there are no fewer than eleven control options plus save/load/abort game options. Movement, graphics, and sreen designs are very good, but the game is hard to get into; the problem of running out of fuel caused many a promising game to end rather too soon.

This is one for the expert gamester and should give many hours of enjoyment. However, I must admit in the time I had to review it, I didn't get too far. Once the pressure of writing this is off I will be going back for another session.
