This game looks like demo version of Speed Hawk. Very similar but more simple.

Nice gfx. Very repetitive enemy patterns which only become faster from level to level. The game still is fun for a few minutes because you master the levels with ease once you have learned the patterns.

I think the tape version I had always used to crash after level 12... will have to play it again and see if it still does!

I bought this on cassette from ebay in 2013 for a couple of quid, and played it on Atari800Win. Unfortunately it's a really boring game, typical Mastertronic, but credit where credit's due, it is fluid and fast and responsive.
