Swarms of armoured space-hawks, intent only on the kidnap of your little stick-man, are the target in this second-generation invaders game. In this one however prepare to pound your joystick!

The space-hawks attack from varying places around the screen and I was particularly impressed with the phase where they rise over the horizon to regroup for the next attack. Just to make the game a little more difficult, it takes many shots to penetrate the armour casing and to finally depose of a single hawk. During the attack, eggs are dropped which promptly turn into bombs. There is no escape, other than left and right firing missiles, which seem useless in a rapid fire situation. From time to time, a man is 'abducted' and the message Got Me! accompanies the sight of a little human being grabbed by the talons of the predator and being carried off the screen.

The graphics in this program are imaginative, and the sound effects unusual. Control is by joystick only, and I would plead with all software manufacturers to make sure that this fact is clearly shown on the outside of the package. Not everyone owns a joystick... Instructions for use were concise and clear. Mastering the controls is a matter for hours of practice.

Generally, this was a fast and challenging game which should be included in your collection.
