Destroyer

A fair amount of action for the basic Vic, with attacks coming from submarines and bombers. A radar scanner gives you an early warning as to the direction of the raiding aircraft, but you'll be alerted even earlier thanks to the sound effects. Two guns and depth-charge pads are your means of retaliation: along with direction controls, this means six keys need pressing almost continuously.

Even though the game is good fun, I do feel that more colour could have been added and the explosions improved. The verdict: not an essential part of a collection, but perfectly acceptable nevertheless.
