For their latest offering, Imagine have taken the graphics potential offered by 48K of memory and produced stunning results.

You steer the last remaining Droid round a planet inhabited by over twenty varieties of alien. You must collect up fuel cells to pass through the teleportal up to the next level.

And what an arrival! You are delivered through a twirling 3D tube of rays, passing through 3D portals. The aliens are incredible. All in 3D, they twist and turn as they move across the screen with smooth animation. It's worth it just to see the variation in aliens; faces, teeth, birds, worms, wheels, they're all there!

Not that you're likely to see them all for some time. This game is hard! You steer using only two keys which provide rotation, and thus variable direction, as your droid keeps going forwards. The program is also set up for four popular joysticks.

To sum up, professional packaging, amazing graphics, thoughtful facilities and well priced. The one snag? It's only my opinion, but I think the game concept is very ordinary considering the work expended on it.
