Average multi-way scrolling shoot-em-up, which sadly doesn't leave you
feeling in control. Some nice graphics and weapons, but ultimately fails to leave
you feeling fulfilled.

Good game, only I dislike this Acorn port because the 'run' key doesn't
work properly - running is not much faster than walking, but more
importantly you can't turn quickly. Still, if you've
never played the PC version you may well not even notice the problem.
