A very professional program, 100% machine code and auto-running during loading. The cassette comes packaging in a smart 'mini-video' type case, with an impressive sleeve depicting a bright red vulture protecting its eggs.

As with most good arcade style games, the idea behind it is simple - kill the flock of vultures as they swoop to destroy you.

However, when you clear them from the sky, half a dozen eggs begin to hach, each with an impressive noise.

These 'super vultures' are harder to dispose of, as they change colour and home in on you.

They can only be killed whilst they are in their original colour and, if you survive, the speed increases with each successive screen, so the vultures are bound to get you in the end! You will, however, have the posthumous pleasure of recording the high score on screen.

The game is in colour with excellent graphics and is also very effective in black and white.

It requires one joystick, which is also used to select the speed of play, using a neat moving cursor routine.

Vultures can be recommended to arcade addicts of all ages.
