If you bought Gridrunner for the unexpanded Vic and have since had an 8K or 16K expansion, this is the game for you! It is based on Gridrunner; the game has twenty sectors to clear, with the first six levels being selectable by the player. The main obstacle is the centipede-type creature, but there are also some 'cosmic cameloids' thrown in as an added test.

Other targets include 'deflexors' which send back your own bullets, and a cheeky little being called the 'snitch' who directs the horizontal tracker to fire at you...

If all this sounds confusing, don't worry, because instructions are supplied to Llamasoft's usual high standards on the packaging - along with the basic story of the Gridwars, which adds interest. The game itself starts with an interesting trailer, and the score and skill levels are clearly displayed, along with the hi-score.

A joystick is required to play this fast all-action game: and going by what the last reviewer of Gridrunner said, this game must receive full marks for all four categories!
