Omega Probe
Far out in the uncharted reaches of the universe lie the Omega Zones.
As pilot of the Omega Probe, no sooner do you enter the zone than you come under attack. The further you press on, the more dangers you encounter until, with sheild strength rapidly depleting, the purpose of your mission changes from that of exploration to one of sheer survival...
With its breaktaking graphics and high speed action, Omega Probe breaks new ground in games for the BBC Micro.
