How does the idea of fifteen aliens and 99 levels of play grab you? Without doubt, this is the best invaders type game on the market for the Vic and possibly for any other micro.

To say that Myriad is another form of Invaders would be to do it a gross injustice. The fifteen different forms of attacker require different strategies to defeat them, and there are always more to come.

Try as I might, I could not get above level 36, and even this required hours of practice and left me with an aching thumb.

Graphics and colour are excellent, an expanded screen is used, animation is smooth and very, very fast.

At the bottom of the screen is a displaye of high score, present score, number of lives left, number of shields left, and level of play. The shields can be extremely useful as they allow you to ram any particularly troublesome aliens with impunity.

The use of the Vic's sound capabilities is also excellent (unlike most other Rabbit games!) with different aliens emitting different alien-like noises.

Undoubtedly the best space game available for the Vic, and at a reasonable price as well.
