Galaforce is a fast-moving, colourful, all-action game in the Zalaga mould. You can move your spaceship in eight directions and the inevitable fire button can be held down for maximum blast power.

The idea of the game may seem hauntingly familiar but this is no boring, run-of-the-mill game. There are seemingly endless streams of attacking aliens.

The game is divided into Zones, each Zone consisting of several waves of nasties, swooping down in complicated formations. Some require as many as ten hits to kill them. At later stages the aliens drop a deadly assortment of bombs. There are ten different types of monster, all drawn in large-scale multi-coloured graphics, and an even greater number of attacking patterns.

Galaforce is professionally presented, with a demo mode, excellent sound effects and graphics. Even though Galaforce wins few marks for originality, it is very enjoyable to play. Superior have managed to keep up their growing reputation as one of the Beeb's leading software houses.
