Wunda Walter (Interceptor Micros)

Wonderful! Brilliant! Superb! Fabulous! As I was beginning to give Vic software up for dead, along comes Wunda Walter from Interceptor for the 16K expanded Vic 20 and joystick.

Walter is a balloon which you control and which is floating over 3D mountains in superb graphic illustration of a landscape. But every now and then (all the time) there are high volcanoes which you must float over, by going up (fire button). But in the sky there are lots of baddies flying along which you must go under or over to avoid. If a nasty comes along the top of the screen and you are over a volcano and it explodes, well, you lose one of your five Walters. If you land on any rough surface, you lose a Walter.

To score points you must land on the diamonds, but beware if you don't bounce back up quickly enough, you will land on a sharp surface and pop, another Walter gone! With brilliant graphics, good sound, a high-score table and messages moving along the bottom of the screen, as you play, this is definitely the best-ever game for the Vic.
