The object of this game is to shoot the deadly arrows that are flying in all directions around a maze.

Tactics are required, however, because "master arrows" appear and lay eggs on the grid.

These eggs hatch as you shoot the last two arrows. If you successfully clear all the hostile arrows, a new screen is presented in different colours.

Before play starts, you are asked to input three initials for the high score table displayed at the end of the game. Since I have only two initials, I found that I had to invent a third one!

A good point is that a new name can be input before each round if required by pressing Enter.

There are many other good features, including on-screen scoring with high score, time and round bonuses, and extra points for certain hits.

The graphics are smooth and fast and the game is fun to play and addictive.

The sound is reasonably good with a satisfying twang when a laser is fired. There are no melodious tunes, though - unlike many of the new arcade games.
