I have played this game more often and with more pleasure than any other game for my Vic.

If I tell you that Omega Race is a cross between Asteroids and Snooker, then perhaps it will be clear that this is not an ordinary space invaders clone. Around an enclosed track our little spaceship shuttles, bouncing elastically from the sides; its task, to shoot various enemy blobs that pursue it, first shuffling, than at the trot, then bouncing and spinning at full tilt.

Playing colours are selectable (and the sound effects are only a teeny weeny bit tiresome). To describe the graphics would be to risk accusation of understatement.

What more can I say?
