A simple shoot em up, I think Id written a decent sprite routine in machine code, and wanted to make the most of it so wrote this in my spare time for RedRat. Seeing the screen shot again, I see Mike Power did the art, a great guy not in the games industry, but a real Atari enthusiast, where ever you are Mike (Moston maybe?), hope you are well.
