Space Walk

Although the scenario is none too original, the skill factor in this game is pretty high. You're a jet-packed astronaut floating around in space, trying to retrieve stray satellites and get them to the safety of your spaceship before they sink down and crash on the moon.

That's the easy part; as the levels of difficulty increase, alien astronauts appear to fire at you. Of course, you can fire back, but you've also got to avoid the asteroids zooming around. Graphics are pretty reasonable but there's little in the way of sound. Manoeuvrability is good, though. Especially in the way gravitational pull between astronaut and satellite is approximated. At the price, this game has got to be good value.
