THE SPECTRUM GAMES DATABASE
ARCADIA
PUBLISHER
Imagine
AUTHOR
"D.H.L." - Dave Lawson, one of Imagine's company directors.
YEAR
1982.
DESCRIPTION
A classic vertical scrolling shoot-em-up, with 32 different
levels.
CONTROLS:
Left,Right - Alternating keys on CAPS to SPACE row
Fire - Keys on Q to P row
Thrust - Keys on A to ENTER row
INSTRUCTIONS
Using the keys, you have to wipe out wave after wave of alien
nasties. Each wave has a different enemy with varying movement
characteristics. To reach the next level, you have to survive
with a single life until a counter gets from 99 to 0. Care
should be taken when the counter does get to 0 since any aliens
on the screen will just drop straight down, irrespective of how
they normally move. This action can kill your player, thus
meaning a restart of same level.

NOTES
One of (if not the first?) shoot-em-ups for the Speccy. Small
graphics, and lots of attribute clashes make this game look very
dated.
