Good graphics generally (except the sprites), good music and sound, and good gameplay with nice power ups. The control for using the smart bomb (up and fire together) is annoying as you use all your smart bombs by accident, bit overall this is a solid vertical scroller which I was hooked on back in the late 80s.

This was a good game. Could have been a fantasic game with a bit more effort in the design. Enjoyable blast for an hour or two.

Looks like the music is ripped from C64's ' Phantom of the Asteroids' game. Original music by Rob Hubbard.
