The game describes itself as "a superb arcade trilogy". The only bit I go along with is "trilogy" as the game is split into three distinct sections; battlezone, the trap and orbit runner.

Battlezone is very similar to our old favourite, space invaders. You are defending a prison from the attacking 'walkons', if they penetrate your defences they release their mates, the brungs, who are locked in the prison. But, should you successfully defend your prison from the walkons, you move on to...

The trap. I don't know why it's called the trap, but here's what it looks like. A number of the brunes have escaped into space and you have to shoot them down, via a remote space ship. The space ship moves up or down depending on the instructions you send it using your laser communications system. When the craft is level with the escaped brunes you can give the FIRE command. Simple.

Now for the third and final part of the trilogy. This is a cross between two existing arcade games, Frogger and Space Lander. You have to manoeuvre your space vessel through a mass of orbiting space ships. Once safely through this you have to dodge an asteroid storm and then you have the chance to ran the alien ship kamikaze fashion. End of game!

Although I found this game interesting and the concept was rather different from most arcade games, to be honest after I had mastered the play technique I found the game boring having played it a few times.
