This is very much a standard type zapping good fun arcade game which has as its main boast an enormous amount of differing types of aliens. They vary from aliens shaped like upside down bishop chess pieces, to blue diagonal strips, white dripping blobs and balls. They move down towards your vessel at the bottom of the screen, some moving straight vertically, others swoop in from the sides. The controls are simple, well laid out in default mode (they are also user configurable) and they are easy to use being for lateral movement and fire. Additionally you may select to use a joystick.

The aim of the game is to battle your way to screen nine and destroy a creature called the master. The game gives you a practice mode which you will probably find extremely useful if you are serious in your quest to attain that level. The master, once destroyed, will reappear but in a faster, even more deadly form. You may select a skill level from one to nine in this game.

Laserwarp certainly does have a wealth of alienism on screen but this, I think, becomes its main failing as the designers have crammed too much activity on to each screen with the result that the graphics are largely fiddly and not very easy on the eyes. Worth looking at if you are a real arcade game fanatic.
