I agree with Thorsten, Flak is a lot more fun. This has the makings of a good game but doesn't keep your interest as it gets very repetetive very quickly. Better than some others though..

I beg to differ. If you're looking for a quality vertical scroller: choose Funsoft's "Flak". In comparison, "Espial" looks like a 2600 title.

This is a great scroller, not unlike Xevious. It's an arcade clone, and a fine one with smooth action play, and excellent music. It's certainly in the top 10% of Atari 8 bit titles, and worthy of consideration. Not to mention the fact that this game is really a lot of fun to play.
