== '''Codename MAT II by Derek BrewsterInlay Text'''==
The red planet Vesta contains the most precious lift-giving substance in the universe: Karillium. For many light years the inhabitants of the planet have peacefully mined and despatched Karillium to the free colonies of the Solar System, but now the evil Myons have returned to destroy Vesta and its Karillium mines. MAT is sent in his sophisticated fighting machine to defend the planet and its satellites from attack and restore law and order in space.

''[[Amtix]]'' bemoaned that the game was "not the fresh new idea that its predecessor was, in fact there are quite a lot of similarities between the two games... but the gameplay is pretty good. The player is under quite a lot of pressure, especially when the enemy numbers start to increase and you have to repair damage to your ship. Well worth buying if you are a space strategy shoot-em-up fan without Codename Mat the first."
