This is a grid type of game where the object is to collect your Dilithium Crystals which have been stolen by the evil SEIDDABS (BADDIES backwards get it?). Sounds easy doesn't it? Well it ain't. I scored ten after repeated efforts, I like a good challenge but this game doesn't get off the ground due to it being too difficult, (or maybe it's me?!).

The presentation is good with full instructions displayed after the title page, after which you are allowed to define the cursor keys yourself. You are then faced by a grid with yourself at the centre as the evil SEIDDABS rush towards you to prevent you getting at those little old crystals.

Beginning and end of game, because those backward baddies are not so backward when it comes to moving forward, as they fairly pelt along and within a micro second (or so it seems) they have zapped you into oblivion. Never mind you have another two lives, but, two microseconds later there you are facing the instructions again and feeling a little bit cheated. Perhaps my reflexes are not what they used to be so I invited around our local whizz vid-kid and to my immense satisfaction three microseconds later there we were, once again facing the instructions.

I am sure that this is a really good game, good use of colour, sound, graphics, and I am sure that out there somewhere is someone who can defeat the evil SEIDDABS and save the Universe, but it ain't me.

One feature that certainly would be useful in this game would be a slow down button to give you a better chance against the SEIDDABS!

The game is certainly worth buying if only to prove me wrong and possibly suffering from senile dementia. I would be interested to hear from anyone who can score more than 10... Come on all you Vidiots out there show me how it's done...
