Even microprocessors have enemies, or so it would seem from playing this new game from Softspot. You take on the role of guardian of a 6502 microprocessor chip, while a multitude of electronic components move toward you along sixteen circuit wires.

If any component reaches you, your chip explodes, and you are only able to prevent this by firing spark-like objects down the wires at the components.

A total of 50 components will attack during each level, and as they are destroyed, the number remaining is displayed on the screen.

As you get to the higher levels, the speed of the components increases, and so does the complexity of the tracks leading to the chip, making it difficult to see exactly which track the component is on.

Just to hinder you a little more, the firing rate slows down on the higher levels.

A feature which is relatively new to home computer games is the ability to continue your next game from the same point at which you finished your previous one.

This feature enables you to achieve very high scores by playing game after game after game, but it does have the disadvantage of the user losing interest in the game sooner than normal. Even so, this does not in any way detract from what is a very good game.
