This is a version of the old favourite Scramble. To those of you who don't know the game, it involves flying a spaceship over terrain which moves from right to left.

In the first phase, the surface is littered with missiles, fuel and other items.

To keep your rocket's fuel stocks up you must bomb the fuel dumps. Not unsurprisingly, the missiles are fired at you and if they hit your ship the result is predictable. Subsequent phases give you varying terrain and different hazards to avoid.

You are equipped with forward-firing lasers and bombs for protection. It is possible, using either joysticks or keyboard, to move the ship in the normal four directions.

The graphics are to a fair standard and movement is tolerably smooth. I found the game difficult to play with everything happening at a frantic pace. The second phase was particularly nasty and I didn't manage to progress beyond that point.

This game is very addictive and should provide hours of harmless fun. I've seen one or two versions of Scramble on the Vic 20 and this one is as good as the rest.
