Yet another space game. The object of this game is to command two space ships with two lives and a limited supply of missiles which are (surprise surprise!) supposed to kill aliens.

The bases don't move, instead you move a target around the screen showing where your missile will hit. The game requires a certain amount of skill as accurate timing is essential.

There are two types of alien, one is a shape coming down the screen and the other is a white streak of which you must hit the head. You move the target, fire, and if your time it right the alien and the missile will connect eliminating one alien. Apart from your two ships, at each side of the screen, there is the city which you're supposed to be defending. These are rows of buildings and will be destroyed on the first hit.

The game is fun and provides a challenge. It is also one of these games that gets better the more you play. A good variation of Missile Command for the 48K ZX Spectrum.
