"There was no escape." Yep. The thingies are back. Not that they ever left for long. Another perspective '3D' game, and one of the faster ones. Sadly, to get the speed, the game lost out on features. On the faster levels, the slow response speed of the base you move at the bottom is a real drag.

The animation becomes quite good on stage two, when asteroids hurtle from the screen towards you.

The nasties zap you with single lines, drawn with the VDU drivers all in one go, so you have no chance to avoid their fire. This is a random thing that the player can't really control.

So: graphically stunning and fast, but not enough work on the game-plan.
