A brilliant game destined to become a classic. Read Review
It's instantly playable because it offers skill levels from total wally to arcade perfection. Read Review
Very addictive and will offer hours of enjoyment to the arcade player, especially as it is a good hi-scoring game, more so than their earlier Tank Duel. Read Review
The game is fast and the graphics, based on wire-frame animation, are good and interesting. Read Review

The only access to the reactor chamber was through two cooling ports within the base's equatorial duct. To reach these, however, an attacker was forced to run the gauntlet of the base's heavy ground and space defences. To penetrate these, a new generation of starfighters was created - the Starstrike series..."
