This is a must for Oric owners who like fast action arcade style games. With three space ships at your disposal you journey through space to the planet Randon encountering alien Aards that you must destroy. You are then bombarded by meteorites and finally you reach Randon only to be attacked by Paratrons. Having survived all this you must then take on and destroy the Zorgon battle star.

A great fun game liable to promote a nervous breakdown until you learn the techniques and develop your reactions, and then - you've guessed - you increase the skill level and get blasted out of existence again.

Written almost entirely in machine code the program has very high quality high resolution graphics and all the usual battle type sounds. The instructions are good but omit to tell you how to record your name on the hall of fame scoresheet - and it's no good trying to LIST the program to help you. The program itself is crashproof even to the most over excited fingers.

I found the game so compelling that I didn't care about the hall of fame or the score I achieved. I just wanted to get past those Paratons to have a go at the battle star.
