I would have liked to see a joystick option or at least the chance to change keys but apart from this it is a good well thought-out game. Well done Computer Concepts! Read Review
Requires great dexterity and quick thought, and must be ranked amongst the hardest games around, especially at skill level 19. Read Review
One of the best original games I have seen for the BBC computer. Read Review
Apart from the rather awkward choice of keyboard keys to play it with, Android Attack is recommended. Read Review
The object of the game is to defend yourself from the attacking androids. You can move around the maze using the up, down, left and right controls and by firing at the androids.
Different androids require a different number of hits. Your energy level is displayed on the bottom - the lower the level, the slower you move. You may drop landmines by pressing SHIFT. Pressing this again as an android passes over it will destroy it. This is only possible if your energy is above a certain level.
The only way to increase your energy level is to eat the dots and the other objects that appear in the maze. Beware the "Smiley" master android - he can walk anywhere!
