Gridrunner

Wow! This is surely the most that has ever been crammed into the 3.5K of the unexpanded Vic, and is a real must for enthusiasts of fast arcade action. You are a spacecraft patrolling a grid and zapping the centipede-like droids criss-crossing the grid to crash into you.

Each time you shoot a droid segment it turns into a pod which evolves in time, finally sending a bolt of lethal energy down the grid. As if that isn't enough, beware of the X-Y Zapper moving across the grid firing lasers. Confused? Don't worry, the instructions are excellent as are the sound and graphics. The game is totally addictive, but great fun.
