This is a shoot-'em-up arcade-style game in 3D. Simplicity and
immediacy make it most attractive, and youngsters will probably
find it compelling.
Astride your laser-armed superbike you must chase the
machines of the warlords through the forests - your only enemies
are the trees! You have three lives per game.
There are eight sectors, or levels, each one being more
densely forested than the last. You must successfully patrol each
sector by day and night to be promoted to the next.
You have control over your speed, which way you turn and
photon bolt firing. All this via Kempston stick or keyboard.
The picture projected is good and jerkiness minimal. The trees
race forward to meet you most realistically. The target bikes
serve this way and that.
The instructions are minimal (all on cassette insert), the game
loads easily and runs very quickly yet is quite controllable, even by
keyboard.
As I said, its appeal is in its straightforwardness - possibly
so much so that lack of variety might eventually make it pall.
