To play this game you need the Expansion Module 2 (the steering wheel) which is used to guide your Ram-car through Araknid's maze.

Your mission is to collect precious crystals from Araknid, a city on the planet Arthos and take them back to earth.

To obtain the crystals you have to hit the Krystaloids with the Ram-car. This creates a chain reaction that causes it to form a crystal. You then have to push the crystal with your car to the star- cruiser shown on the screen.

Destructor can appear at any time. He, or it, is the master of the Insektoids and it can never be destroyed. It eats crystals as well as your car. The Destructor lays eggs - so perhaps it should be a she - which hatch into new Destructors.

Teleporters are dotted around the maze. If you drive the Ram-car into one of these you travel to the Master Teleporter on the Starcruiser where you are temporarily safe from Insektoids.

If you collect all the crystals your starcruiser blasts of to return to earth. More difficult rounds follow and you have to keep going until you lose all your Ram-cars.

This is a colourful, unusual game. To begin with controlling the car is fairly difficult and kept drowning myself in the acid river. But, once I mastered the controls I quite enjoyed collecting crystals and avoiding giant spiders.
