Crash
1st July 1990
Graphics are very impressive indeed, all sprites and backgrounds beautifully detailed, and the difficulty level is set just on the right side of frustrating. Highly recommended. Read Review

Detailed and colourful backdrops and lots of meaty explosions complement the animated sprites as they run around the jerky, but fast-scrolling play area, brandishing a variety of kick ass weaponry. Read Review

When first released, we thought this was absolutely incredible. It's still looking practically as good as it always has done. Read Review

Ocean come up trumps again I'm afraid. Colourful, varied, well-paced and tricky shoot-'em-up. Read Review
Full Instructions
Scenario
A ruthless Commissar, leader of a vicious regime of megalomaniacs, has kidnapped your family (including your Grandfather - a world-famous scientist) in a desperate bid for dictatorial power over the earth.
Can you rescue your relatives before the evil Commissar forces your Grandfather to use his superior weaponry research in order to enforce his own tyranny throughout the planet?
Pit your wits against an obsessive army, their tortuous traps and a convoy of menacing machinery.
Gameplay
When destroyed, some of the enemies will drop keys which you may collect. You can only carry six. These may be used to buy extra weapons, back-packs and features from the weapon rooms.
These are situated at the end of each level, and contain six different types of weapon. However, you have a limited budget so you must be careful when making your selection.
The weapons within your budget will flash as you walk past their cabinets and, to make your purchase, you must jump up and collect it as it falls.
Game Controls
O - Left, P - Right, Q - Up, A - Down, M - Fire Weapon
H - Toggle Pause
All control keys may be redefined. Cursor keys may also be used (with 0 to fire).
When the fire button is pressed in combination with a game control, you will fire in that direction.
