The best description for this game might be a mixture of Star Trek and Defender. However, the quality isn't up to either of them.

There are two playing modes available. In one mode you have a defender's view of a landscape. Various aliens come towards you and they must be shot. While doing this you should keep your fuel levels quite high. If you run out of fuel, your destruction is imminent.

The other playing mode has a view into space. You may move your sight around, line up the enemy and shoot. A map shows the positions and bearings of you and the various planets in the solar system.

A computer status report will give you the current stardate, food supply, virus immunity time, temperature, pressure, etc.

This game looks and sounds fairly good but lacks lasting interest. I found that it got very repetitive after only a few minutes. The graphics and sound are not all that outstanding - not of the normal quality found on CBM 64 games.
