You command a gunsight on a spacecraft and the objective is to amass points by shooting down pirate craft when they attack.

Following an attractively laid-out instruction sequence, the screen represents the view through the crosswires of the sight and you simply try to line up the centre with the attacking forces and blast away. Really, that's all there is to the game. The aliens lookm up quite convincingly "3D" style and if you miss them they never miss you.

I found the control key chosen W, X, A, D and S for up, down, left, right and fire to be so close together as to make their use very awkward and there is no joystick option referred to by Lyversoft. A correction to the inlay card instructions is needed as these give the wrong firing button. The screen instructions are correct, however.

Not a game to stretch the imagination, though if you want to develop manual dexterity you may like the game. One I shall quickly forget.
