A spectacular fast arcade game. Although described as Norse gods battering on far-flung planets and deep space, the whole thing boils down to zapping the enemy when he gets into your sights. What makes it different is superb display and sound effects.

The illusion of speed and rapid plunging and twisting is quite breathtaking. You quickly become absorbed in the desperate pace of the thing.

Joystick or keyboard control is available and the former is certainly preferable, especially with rather tricky key selections.

The tape loaded well, but no slow back up is supplied, as is often the case for Oric software.

Use of Oric sound is first class and colours are used to good effect in planet scenes to give a ground skimming display. The only criticism I can make is that I suspect there is a method of play which can result in high scores with minimum skill. Having said that though, the enthusiast should be able to command his rightful winning place with practice.

A good game for your Oric library.
