A nice, little classic, that could've been amazing, with just a little bit more stuff added. Everything sounds and looks good, the playability is nice, and the game works very well.

A bit more enemies, also able to shoot instead of just bombing, a bit more detail in the ground and sprites would've made this an unmissable classic.

As it is now, I think you need a little bit of nostalgy to enjoy this game - it's slightly too simplistic, when you can nowadays play Arcade versions of Xevious, Tatsujin, Dragon Saber, and the like, and all the Dreamcast shooters (Ikaruga, etc.), and Amiga's Hybris, Battle Squadron and and and.. coming back to this, sadly, feels a bit too lackluster to hold your interest for long.

This is one of the better vertical shooters for the 8-bit.Excellent production values..no flicker...cool theme song...in the end of the level you even fly over some 6502's! Try it out!

 Electronic Games · February, 1985


Flak looks and plays a bit like an earthbound Zaxxon and nothing about it is terribly new. But it's a challenging game that requires some almost impossibly fine maneuvering, quick trigger reflexes and ESP.
112 years in the future, a psychotic computer threatens life as we know it - or as we will know it in 2096. The player is cast as a fighter pilot whose mission is to get to... [more]
