Once in a while a game sweeps the market and has game addicts hooked. Alas, Kamakazi is not one of these. In fact, it's a poor example. A word of advice - always try a game out in the shop before buying.

Kamakazi is another version of galaxians space invaders. You defend your base with the help of a laser cannot against the invading enemy. There are no shields for protection so the only way to stay aline is by dodging the bombs.

There are five waves of attacking squadrons. The graphics are so poor that it is very difficult to identify them. Somewhere in the cluster is the Mother Ship supplying new ships as soon as you destroy the old ones. There is no pleasure even in being bombs, because when one of the bombs hits the base there is no sound, just a few spots. The only sound comes from the cannon fire but it is unbelievably crude.

It fails to take advantage of the superior graphics and sound of the Electron. The only good feature of this game is the choice of keys to suit right or left handed players. With so many good games in this price range, I see no future for Kamakazi.
