Suicide Strike

Though it's against my nature I'm going to try and be positive about this game. On the back of the box is stamped 'From America', as if this were some cast iron guarantee of quality.

Personally, I wouldn't touch Suicide Strike with a barge pole. But don't take my word for it, judge for yourselves. You are presented with a flash-looking cockpit and a view of the landscape beyond - not bad graphics here. What actually moves when you tweak the joystick is a little pane at the bottom of the screen; this has complete side-to-side mobility and will move up the screen about one centimetre. First you are attacked by a wave of helicopters, then tanks, then jets, then you begin to feel drowsy and are overcome by a deep sleep.

Space invaders with frills. So much for being positive.
