This is an arcade/adventure type of game, whereby the player has to manoeuvre the character, using either the keyboard or the joystick, through the mazes of Fort Cybertron. The object being to locate the stated items and then proceed, having collected them, to the safe (which also has to be located).

Touching the safe, with the appropriate items, will transport the player to the next level, whereupon he will be given another list of items to be located. An item can be found in a room, each of which is designed as a simple maze and has to be carefully negotiated without touching the walls, as this can result in instant death. Whilst avoiding the walls the player also has to either kill or avoid the several inhabitants of each room. These do not fire on the first levels but with higher levels the aliens fire and move intelligently towards the player.

Staying in a room for more than a certain period of time can be hazardous to a high score, as a Spook promptly homes in and another spritely life bites the dust.

There are a total of 64 rooms in all, 16 rooms on each level, in the form of a 4 x 4 grid, therefore there must be only four levels to the game.

This game bears a very close resemblence to its popular BBC counterpart.
