When Harrier Attack first appeared for the Spectrum, it was no great technical achievement, but enormously popular nevertheless. Durell have since brought-out Combat Lynx for the Spectrum which will probably divert attention from Harrier Attack. Well, I had Harrier Attack for my Spectrum and it was no big deal. On the Amstrad I must say that I can see no differences between the Spectrum version and this version.

Yet, I seem to enjoy playing it more than I ever did. It was introduced at a party and all the computer game freaks gathered around to play. However, after some time there was a unanimous vote that Harrier Attack should stay on.

Funny, I thought. Anyway, the mysterious game with addictive qualities involves flying your Harrier around an island avoiding planes, flak and gunboats. After obliterating the island's town, you have to land back on your aircraft carrier to do it all again at the next level of difficulty.
