Personally, I prefer Swoop or Arcadians but, if you're looking for a new challenge, Firehawks is an interesting version of an old favourite. Read Review
Reasonable graphics... If released a year ago, it might have been worth considering, but I cannot honestly recommend it now. Read Review
Gets quite compulsive and, at the higher levels, exasperating. Read Review
An Electron Field and various Plasma Screens protect your Planet from Cosmic Radiation.
There is a 'red alert' that ravenous energy consuming FireHawks, the offsprint of the legendary Phoenix have come to regenerate their lifeforms from the Electron Field in an attempt to re-emerge as the reborn Phoenix from the ashes of your planet.
Your Spacecraft's Laser Bolts and the passive Plasma Screens are the sole defence against the FireHawks who hover and attack in an increasingly ferocious and devious manner.
What game speed do you want?
When asked this question you must enter the number of your choice with 15 being the slowest and 1 the fastest and meanest game you have probably played. You must also set the speed of the invading FireHawks again with 15 slowest and 1 the fastest.
Don't be too ambitious, the game is fast and furious - start with the maximum number of attack waves and slowest game speed. Good luck.
The score achieved for the current game will be displayed at the end of each game if the FireHawks manage to penetrate your defences. Scoring is graded according to game speed and to be able to enter your name on the Roll of Honour you must achieve a minimum of 180.
Tape: CHAIN"" (RETURN)
Disc: SHIFT-BREAK
