Microdeal may well have had a success with Space Shuttle but this does not compare with it. It is the year 3000. The display shows you in the middle of the screen and you are surrounded by various creatures. The cursor key moves you around the screen and the space bar allows you to fire in the direction that you are pointing. By pressing two keys at once you are able to move in a diagonal direction.

The object of the game: zap away to your hearts content. The creatures move towards you but it would be silly to say that they pose a threat - they don't. As each arena is cleared so the next one appears, the only difference being that the beasts begin to change shape.

The graphics are not very good and the sound used makes a rather loud din. There is a hi-score table but no instructions within the program.

There is little else to say about this game, it holds no interest, it is not addictive, is poorly thought out and uses none of the potential that the Oric possesses. If you like arcade games you will dislike this.
