Climb aboard your Mk II fighter craft and stop the Mutants from killing the last few remaining humans left on Earth by blowing them to kingdom come as soon as you see them. If a Mutant manages to pick up a human and carry him off the top of the screen that man is lost and things become even tougher, with more aliens around to capture less people. A wraparound radar at the top of the screen plots the position of your ship and the enemy craft, and once all baddies are destroyed you move to the next, harder level.

Guardian II is a fast and furious clone of the ancient Williams coin-op, Stargate (sequel to Defender), possessing all the qualities which give fans of such "Classic" shoot-'em-ups the screaming ab-dabs. The sprites are small but whizz around the screen very quickly, and playability is first-class; in other words, if blasting is your bag, rake together those pennies and purchase immediately!

A Stargate clone of such high quality that you'd think you were in an arcade. Excellent mindless blasting fun for the mindless blasters among you.

Not quite as colourful as the Amstrad version of course, but plays just as well. Probably the best game of its type on the Speccy.
