Not so much a new game, as one built up of four separate phases, each with a different and familiar scenario.

Phase one involves landing a space ship through a meteor storm; tricky but not too difficult.

Next you have to destroy three sets of space mines which home in on you.

The third phase is a simple wave of space invaders. During this phase I found the controls a

little sluggish and I haven't managed to complete it.

Hence I can't comment on the fourth phase, which apparently involves destroying the "power source".

Overall the graphics were good and the game was challenging, addictive and, most of all, frustrating.

I must have been given a rogue tape, though, since I found the game appallingly difficult to load successfully.
