This game is hard to describe. The nearest I can get is to call it a Startrek type game for two players, who are fighting for control of a solar system.

You have the twin problems of attack and defence of your territory (various planets and mineral moons), and must also build, maintain and command the powerful Eoncruisers which are your main weapon against your foe.

You cannot leave a cruiser and hope that it will remain static, as the crew are using energy and supplies all the time.

This is not a game for the younger player - there are so many variables to be thought about and planned for that good strategic planning is essential.

The game is well laid out, and the screen, using Mode 7, is very clean and tidy. The game is likely to take a long time, therefore the 'Save Game' facility is available to allow other essential matters to intervene.

Unfortunately, there is no solo play option, nor is there a move limited game, both of which would have made the program that much easier to use.
