Beyond boasts that the game stands up top class programs such as Jetpac, The Hobbit and Psion's Scrabble. The game certainly equals, and probably beats, them.

The Psytron controls the massive Betula. 5 Installation (consisting of the medical unit, freezetime, oxygen unit, docking bay and teleport centre, a recycling unit, pleasure dome, crew's quarters and many more) packed into ten superbly drawn screens. It will cope with defensive demands which will leave the human brain unhinged and computer circuits scrambled.

The first level is the droid mode. You are a droid and must destroy saboteurs who are teleported down from the alien ship. The aliens take the form of tripedroids because of their three-footed nature. There is a time limit of 300 seconds and then the score and the average are given. Then you play this screen again until you have played it five times and the average is greater than 50%. If this is true you will be permitted on to the second of the 6 levels.

This has you controlling some sights to gun the alien craft down. This continues as the first one until permitted on to screen 3. An excellent game. Highly recommended.
