Drifting alone in space, your ship is menaced by a sudden meteor storm. Collision is imminent. All that you have to fight off the huge rocks are your ship's laser bolts. The trouble is that as soon as you hit them the meteors break up into little pieces which are just as deadly. You have to blast away at these until they've all been destroyed or they'll destroy you!

Just to make things more difficult, all the firing has attracted the attention of some extremely hostile flying saucers. These take the opportunity to snipe at you while you're distracted by meteors, so you've got to shoot at them as well. You do have thrusters to help you dodge, and if it all gets too much you can escape into hyperspace.

It's great fun, a game of quick thinking and fast reactions. Colourful and fast, space flight will never seem the same again.
