Android Attack (Computer Concepts)

You are controlling a space traveller who is being chased around a maze by a variety of different androids.

Your only hope is to shoot them with your hand laser or to drop a mine in the maze and hope that you can detonate it when an android is on top of it. You also have to keep your energy level up by eating the dots and other objects that appear in the maze. If this level gets too low, then you can't drop any more mines or fire your laser and you also start slowing down. If you take too long in destroying all the androids on a screen or manage to destroy all the androids and still have things to eat them the 'SMILEY' master android appears and he can move through walls to get you.

On the lower levels the androids are fairly easy to destroy, but on slightly higher levels they get infuriatingly difficult, splitting into smaller androids just as you thought you had destroyed them.

Although the keys seem difficult at first, they soon become easier to use. Overall this is one of the best original games I have seen for the BBC computer.
