A clone of Radar Scope and Juno first. I love this game! The difficulty curve raises fairly and the Atari version flows fast and fun. Recommended!

One of the best Atari cartridge games in my opinion. Shoot the alien saucers to progress to the next level, whilst avoiding (or shooting) other obstacles and craft - it’s as simple and compelling as that. Also included is alternate multiplayer and level select option which adds variety. Unfortunately the difficulty is not adjustable but the first few levels are easy enough before things become frantic. A testament to it is the fact I still occasionally play it now – twenty four years after its first release! A classic.
