Thoroughly recommended. Read Review
It's well presented and challenging to play, but the 'window' idea doesn't really work. Nice try, but there just isn't enough room for the action to really open up. Read Review
One of my nominations for BBC Game of The Year. Read Review
A good game which has difficulty levels of two extremes... Had it been pitched somewhere in between, it would have been a stunner. Read Review
Imagine a Mechanical World. An enormous chain of cylinders, each rotating to produce the required centripedal force which acts like gravity against the inside.
Viewed from a distance, the world appears like a giant caterpillar moving through space. From a little closer the fine detail on the inner surface of each fantastic cylinder becomes clearer.
The cities, fields, factories, power stations and military bases of a highly advanced alien race become apparent. Their world is perfect. All natural disadvantages such as disease and adverse climate were eliminated in the design stage. The inhabitants are imaginative, innovative, but also warlike. The conquest of other lesser worlds is their religion. Their course is set for Earth.
Several missions from Earth have failed to deter the invaders. You, the player, have been despatched in the latest military spaceship to try and infiltrate and destroy the enemy from within.
Combat defence Droidans patrol the cylinders. Some Droidans are more deadly than others. All Droidans are dangerous.
To complete a cylinder, you must destroy most of its ground installations. If you manage to do this you will enter the next cylinder. If you destroy all the cylinders on Side 1, turn the tape over and try Side 2. The cylinders are even more deadly.
Happy blasting!
