Rocket Raiders is a familiar type of game for one or two players. You visit a rugged planet to destroy the hostile mutants.

Their ship has three fighters with rockets and bombs, and limited fuel which can be replenished from the surface.

The mutants have rockets, drifting space mines and the mountainous terrain to protect them.

The cassette loaded first time, with brief but adequate instructions. The well-chosen key controls are also listed on the insert.

The display shows an elevation of a section of the planet surface, with all the targets and hazards visible.

At the top a larger area is shown, with fuel and fighters remaining.

Response is immediate and realistic, but the lack of difficulty levels means the game could soon become dull. A competent but not outstanding game.
