- In theory I still have this game somewhere (If not on disk then at least on
- tape).
-
- I seem to recall that it was a 'galaxian' type game with waves of ships which
- you had to shoot from your ship which moved along the bottom of the screen.
- As you progressed through the waves you get to shoot two (more?) bullets at
- the same time.
-
- At the end of each level a mother ship appears which you have to dock with
- to refuel.
-
- Apart from that the only thing I remember is the great sound (for the day)
- and the great playability that was the hallmark of all Big Five games.
-
- Ahh! Memories!
