SHADOW SKIMMER
The Edge 198
CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM : As Second Officer on an interstellar liner, it's your job to
look after the exterior of the ship. This is normally pretty easy, since
much of the task is usually done by robot survelliance craft. However,
today the ship's main computer has broken down while you were out on
the hull, as a result of which the ship's defences now think that your
craft is a hostile intruder...
GAMEPLAY : There are three sectors of the liner's hull to penetrate
in each of which is a device that you must destroy in order to get to
the next sector. Your craft is armed with powerful welding lasers which
you can use to destroy hostile objects in your path. You also have three
shields - the number remaining is shown at the top left of the screen.
Shields are lost after several hits have been sustained.
From time to time you'll need to enter the inner sections of the hull.
To do this, you must hover over a hatchway and press fire to open the
hatch and enter. You can also fly upside down by flipping your skimmer.
When flipped, you will be slower, but able to get underneath structures
which are otherwise impassable. The skimmer can only flip while clear of
any deck obstruction.
COMMENTS :
RATING : 62% (CRASH #39, April 1987)
NOW : A very pretty and rather underrated shoot-em-up.
