We're told that Reginald Bach (Johann's cousin) invented this game back in 1726 - the first ever video game. Zoids proves that Reg was baching up the wrong tree.

A drab plectrum-shaped object is at your command. Your task is to destroy an ever-increasing number of Zoids - round blobs which begin to bounce around the screen and grow in size until they turn into large furry cog-wheels.

Destroy Zoids with the usual laser arrangement. Your secondary task is to maintain laser energy by collecting energy packs from little spacemen that temporarily hover about the screen. As you begin to reach the higher levels of play said screen becomes a confused array of multi-coloured blobs and space-men - nearly impossible to cope with.

Not an easy game to play with, but that alone doesn't succeed in making it a challenge.

I'd rather spend the money on one of Johann's records and have a game of frisbee.
