The plot of Phantom Of The Asteroids is about as threadbare as they come. But the game is fun to play and the music by Rob Hubbard is great. For £1.99, it's got to be a hit.

But first the plot. An asteroid is hurtling towards the earth. Our precious planet is at risk. Your mission is to destroy the asteroid and the bloodthirsty phantoms which infest it.

To destroy this lump of space rock you must collect 36 creates of uranium which are scattered around. Once you have collected these in one place you have five minutes to reach the teleport to escape the ensuing explosion.

You control a spaceman through the cavernous asteroid, zapping the phantoms who attack you, and avoiding the three types of force wall which bar your way. Poisonous plants also lurk in the asteroid. Avoid them at all costs.

Energy and oxygen supplies are scattered throughout the asteroid.

Good fun, fair graphics and great music. Phantom Of The Asteroids is a neat and cheap treat.
