A great programming job by John Mackay. The graphics on both normal and high speed play are excellent with some very nice touches - sparkling bricks and that great shield. Read Review

Introduction

Welcome to the ultimate challenge! A two way test of skill and nerve - can you out-manouevre the awesome ogre and blast a path through the myriad of colourful bricks?

D	...	Decelerate: Slows down ball number one
X	...	Extra Man: Gives you an extra life (Max. 9)
