The third in a series featuring the Starship Patscram. Your mission is to restore the Cube of Peace, that the Zirgons have made ineffective, by penetrating their defences on five different screens.

After the title screen you choose the momentum type that your spacecraft will have and keyboard or joystick control. You then have the unusual option to practise operating the ship before play starts. Another feature is the choice of a demonstration game by the computer - far more valuable than a set of instructions.

Once the preliminaries are over, you make a start with Starship Patscam lift-off. By steering through Zirgon mines, it has to be taken to the top of the screen. On screen two you have a limited time in which to destroy Arrowite weapons. This you do by crashing into them! On screen three the converse applies as you have to avoid asteroids. On the fourth you manoeuvre gliding cubes to recover the Cube of Peace, and on the fifth take it back home. But when you've landed the game won't end here as the action re-starts on screen one. Needs Extended Basic.
