Very fast and stunning gameplay. Wish I would have had this back in the 80s. As your ship speeds up in the later levels the fun speeds up too. Feels almost like Musha Aleste on the Atari. Awesome Shoot'em Up.

The music and the parallax-effect title page alone are fantastic, but the game's pretty decent as well. Yes, the sprites are pretty chunky, but they're fast moving, the backgrounds are good, and the sound effects are noisy and satisfyingly "right" for a shoot-em-up. If there's a criticism it's that- minor changes in the waves aside- the gameplay can get a bit samey. But for £1.99 (just over £4 at 2008 prices), this was incredible value.

Intense fast shoot em up. Smooth too. Colourful if blocky. It is a good shoot em up if you get into it.Great music. One of the better shoot em ups on the atari

The game isn't really that good, but the Rob Hubbard soundtrack on the title screen is worth listening to. Together with World Championship Karate in the Top-10 of Atari game music.
