Beware, Zzaxians! Those camels are back on our side now, and ready to take everything you care to throw at them!

This game is very well presented, with a video-type case containing the cassette and a little instruction leaflet. One of the best things about it is that it loads fast - no more 15-minute waits before you can play. There's an experimental "Turbo" format recording on side one, and a normal version on side two in case your equipment won't accept this (Mine did!).

There are 42 different waves of nasties for your mutant camel to spit at, jump over or duck under, some of them extremely odd. Telephone kiosks, walking sticks, flying saucers - you name it and it's probably in there somewhere. You can work your way through the waves in order, or opt to have them selected randomly, when only the first 32 are available. You have five camels per game, each of which can survive quite a lot of hits before collapsing with legs in the air.

An extremely entertaining game, which will really challenge arcade aces as well as giving the rest a lot of fun.
