A good, fast, action adventure game in which you play the part of Captain of an intergalactic starship on a mission to clear the Andromedan galaxy of alien intruders.

On your way you battle with alien ships and have to avoid collision with antimatter mines and planets as you work through each sector of space passing through star gates, refuelling as you go.

You are armed with long range photon torpedoes and phasers and are provided with all the necessary energy status gauges and warning devices you could need. Skill level can be varied from 0 to 9.

The program is written in machine code and makes really excellent use of graphics and sound. The close range dog-fighting with alien ships is tremendous. I found the program entirely crashproof but had difficulty loading from tape at fast speed, not because of errors introduced but the initial signature at commencement of loading had been cut short. There were no problems at slow speed however.

Operation of the four cursor shift keys, space bar and, on occasions, the return key proved to be rather too difficult to match the speed of the game; it would be so much better with a joystick controller.

Supplied instructions were comprehensive. An excellent game for anyone who likes plenty of noise and excitement and very good value at the price.
