May be starting to show its age but, as a budget blast, it's dashed good value. Read Review

The graphics are reasonably good, the backgrounds and enemy craft are nicely designed and animated, but it's a pity that your ship flickers so much. Read Review

This is not a bad shoot-'em-up but has not stood the test of time very well. Read Review

Full Instructions
Nemesis
The planet Nemesis, a peaceful Earth-like world, is now under an all-out space attack from its old enemies, beings from the sub-space star cluster of Bacterion. The people of Nemesis are in danger of being completely destroyed by the amoeboid Bacterions.
To save them, you have just launched the prototype hyperspace fighter, the Warp Rattler. The entire galaxy awaits your duel to the death with the evil Bacterions.
Your objective is the Bacterion superfortress, Xaerous. To reach this, you must steal the enemy power capsules along your route and boost the Warp Rattler's hyper-powers.
You are the last hope for the gentle people of Nemesis! You will need all your courage and concentration to win. Get ready to blast off!!
How To Play
Enemy craft will keep attacking your ship. You need to repel these attacks to progress on to the next stage. Besides these regular attacks, in each stage you will be confronted by a major enemy alien creature, if you can destroy this enemy you can pass on to the next stage.
The Warp Rattler is fast, but is armament is not enough to meet the enemy's attacks. You must get regular boosts from the enemy capsules to increase your supply of weapons.

I - Left, O - Right, Q - Up, A - Down, N - Fire, B - Select Weapon
S - Start Game, 1 - Quit
The game can be played with Kempston, Protek and Sinclair joysticks or redefinable keyboard. B on the keyboard is also used to select weapon when playing with a joystick.
