Atari A to Z (Pete Davison) — 3 Jul 2022
Here's classic shoot 'em up U.N. Squadron by Capcom, ported to home computers by U.S. Gold. And if you thought games journalists declaring things "problematic" or "troubling" was a new thing... well, let's just say at least one review of this from around its original release proves it's been happening for quite a while now!

As good as it gets on the ST. If the scrolling was better it would have been a great game. Now it's just "above average"
