Dropzone

This must be the game of the moment for frustrated Atari owners with no new games to play. It's a fast moving combination of Defender and Jet-Pack with terrific graphics and sound - and a really neat line in explosions.

The general idea is to use your spaceman/jetman to help protect some poor little humans desperately attempting to reach home base on a hostile planet. Defender-style alien nasties are attempting to get them - and you. Use your jetman to swoop down and help the humans reach the "dropzone" and safety.

Fast smooth scrolling - as you'd expect from the Atari - nine different alien attackers and superb moon landscape graphics go to make this the best Atari game around right now.

Atari owners can't afford to miss this one!
