Subterranean Stryker

This game, whilst original in concept, tends to remind you of many other games. From the Defender-style first level, through the Scramble-like caverns, to the Fort Apocalypse mapping and Choplifter-type men.

The idea of the game is to fly through various levels, blasting anything that moves around whilst avoiding everything else that just tries to block your way. The overall theme of the game is to rescue some miners, and most of the game is conducted down the mine flying around and blasting in and out of the tunnels.

The game also has a Microspeech option (if Dk'Tronics and Welwyn Systems can sort themselves out about who owns Currah!), and a very well presented loading screen. Compared with other games of its type it is very well put together and has some good graphics and gameplay. Great for the 'blaster' type of gamer.
