A Galaga clone with a rediculous 1MB RAM requirement for its time and even now.

The RAM is wasted for quirky digi music and then, ingame effects aren't digi but YM blips and blops. The graphics don't move anyone either.

I know a lot of PD titles made with SEUCK or STOS that are a lot better than this one.

Definitly a title below average :(
