^2 This  is a game that you can play against the computer, or against a
^2mate.

^6 It's  a  super  fast  game that requires you to gather all your wits
^6about  you  as  you  get ready to blast the baddies before they blast
^6you!!

^1 The  graphics  are  very  atmospheric, and give the sci-fi feel that
^1this  sort  of  game needs.  The sound effects are excellent, as they
^1should be, as Steve often sends in sfx's to the PD library.

^2 On the game screen, you see two guns mounted on two slider bars, one
^2is  horizontal the other vertical.  In the single player version, you
^2control both guns, using different directions to move each gun.

^6 In  the  two  player  game,  one person uses the horizontal gun, the
^6other player controls the vertical gun.

^1 The  baddies  come  flying  at you and you have to blast them before
^1they  get to you.  This isn't easy if you are as useless as I am with
^1a joystick!

^2 You  earn  credits  on  each  level,  and  these  can be traded with
^2someone/thing called `Honest Nerd' for bigger and better weopons.  If
^2you  have  enough  credits,  you  can  choose  from cloaking devices,
^2hellfire, shields and power shots.

^6 The  special effects are worth noting, watch the different ways that
^6the  screen  is cleared to a new picture.  Also take notes on how the
^6right sound effects can bring a game to life.

^1 The game is very well documented, so if you want to get the most out
^1of the game, take time out to read them.

^2 This  is a game for all Shoot'em up people, its fast and furious and
^2will get the adrenolin going.
