This is the second offering that I have looked at from Insight this month. However, this one is rather different from their previous zap-game.

Vectron is a three dimension maze game with lots of nasties in it. The idea behind the game is to travel around a maze zapping them with your laser thing. The game is full of nice touches, like the map that you can overlay over the playing area, and the incredible speed that everything happens. Most Spectrum games are a bit sluggish, and could do with being speeded up - not so Vectron. You fly around the maze at such a rate that it makes the game a real challenge to play.

All nasties and screen displays are produced in glorious three dimension vector graphics, with very little distortion as the shapes get bigger, they are also highly detailed.

A very impressive game, if only for the incredible speed, and on a Spectrum too! Well worth a good look (that is, if you don't blink and miss all the good bits!).
