This adaptation of Scramble features the usual scene setting for your mission. I have my doubts about the idea of "mercy bombs" and sentences like "meanwhile, destruction blossoms all around, a necessary destruction" - but let's not mix morals and micros.

There's a one or two player option, high score recording, plus the right sort of sound effects. After you have reached 1,000 points, the enemy fighters swarm on in never-ending waves, until your three lives are used up.

Unfortunately there is no keyboard equivalent of the joystick controls, and my Commodore joystick responded only fitfully even after several attempts.

Though this game is sold for the unexpanded Vic 20, it loads quite happily in the expanded version. Without the expansion, it ran out of memory!

There are better version of this game around, but they cost more. you pays your money and you takes your choice.
