At last a really excellent and original new game from the Vic-20 with 8K expansion. This is one of the best games we've yet seen for the Vic: and the graphics are so good that it is easy to forget this isn't a C64 game.

Using either joystick or keys, you control a spaceman with a jetpac. He can thrust himself around the sky and fire his impressive quadruple laser blasters at the numerous aliens which drift across the screen. The immediate task is to assemble his spaceship which initially is in three parts. Once assembled, you collect six fuel elements which appear at random on the screen and drop them onto the assembled ship. At the same time pieces of treasure appear (gold, jewels, etc), which can be collected for extra bonus points. The spaceship begins to flash once it is fuelled and the object is then to enter the ship without crashing into an alien, and take off for pastures or planets new... where you collect more treasure, more fuel and shoot yet more devious aliens.

Almost as exciting as watching Columbia land, this game cannot be faulted - it is thoroughly playable and totally addictive for all members of the family (except perhaps the dog).
