This is a very silly game originally written for a VIC 20. You are in the middle of a runaway nuclear reactor. Your job is to delay the meltdown that is occuring.

This is not a very safe place to be, so you are in remote control of a super laser. To delay the melt-down you must shoot the Protons in the heart of the reactor. Every time you shoot a Proton, an Electron is released and this moves around the screen at a high velocity. Shooting an electron only causes all the electrons on the screen to move faster. If you delay shooting the proton longer than is necessary, then the reactor starts filling up with debris which speeds up the impending melt-down.

There are nine skill levels, the lowest being difficult and the highest being virtually impossible. One minor criticism is the positioning of the keys, these are awkward to use at first.
