Welcome to another melee with the mind of Minter. It's the first tie up Jeff's Llamasoft and Hewson, those people who brought you the ever-so-wonderful Uridium.

But the game is pure Minter and that's enough for the multitude of his faithful fans to rush out and buy it.

It's the same old mix of - admittedly very successful - high speed arcade action zapping, dazzling colours and fantastic sound.

You control what is known as a Gilby Robot fighter. That much is quite clear. Little else is. Those gathered around the C64 began to show signs of extreme confusion about what was happening.

Chris "Odduns" Cain, who quite shamelessly has expressed a liking for past Minter games, was actually spotted sneaking Irdis Alpha out of the office and later admitted he had played it for three hours at home. "I still didn't like it," he said.
