Page 6 · July / August, 1984
This is the easiest review I have had to write so far. If you are tempted to send away £9.95 to Pelican Software, don't bother. The game is totally unplayable and is basically a player missile graphics routine lifted straight from a magazine with some (admittedly reasonable) graphics added.
A reader who wasted £9.95 sent this to me as a warning to others. The crying shame is that it makes you wary of all home-produced software which is a pity as there are some good low priced games about. The guy who wrote it was brave (foolish?) enough to put his name in the program. I'll spare his blushes by not repeating it here. I just hope that he has a conscience.
