This game is a hybrid - a graphical adventure which requires the fast reactions associated with arcade games.

You are the pilot of a space ship which has been captured by an alien craft. Your ship has been dismantled and the pieces distributed throughout the alien ship. Using either joystick or keyboard, you must wander through the ship, find the pieces, collect them in the air lock and reassemble them.

There are a number of nasties including androids, robots and space spiders in the rooms, all which are determined to stop you succeeding. As you enter each room you are given an aerial view and must either avoid the enemy using cunning or shoot it with your laser. Not all enemies, however, can be shot.

The search starts at the air lock and you are returned there if you are captured by one of the opposition. K9, the robot dog of Dr. Who fame, will help you in your task.

The game uses good graphics and is fast and frantic. A high degree of agility and good tactics are required to avoid the enemy. On the whole an excellent game which should appeal to most age groups.
