Chris Sievey's claim to fame was his novel idea of putting ZX81 programs on a single.

Apparently he has now abandoned this idea, since his latest offering for the Spectrum appears on cassette. Still, he throws in a free single for you to play along with the game.

The game itself is one of the craziest I have played, but good fun. According to the on-screen instructions, the only way to properly view a supernova is through the window of a flying train!

As you may guess, gelling the train to fly, viewing the supernova and landing safely back on earth is not easy.

Your mission to the moon is split into various tasks. Firstly you must put the train together. To be honest I couldn't get past this screen, and so I cheated by altering the listing to suit myself.

After you have put the train together, you must navigate through a stargare, watch the supernova and then return safely to earth. Only then are you granted the full title of railwaynaut.
