===[[Codename MAT]]===
''[[Codename MatMAT]]'' is a program guaranteed to have you hunched over your Amstrad keyboard for hours on end. A welcome conversion from the [[ZX Spectrum|Spectrum]] by [[Micromega]], it depicts space warfare on an epic scale, as you battle to save Earth from the deadly Myon invasion fleet.
The scenario itself is slightly daft. In a plan known as MAT - Mission Alien Termination - the combined tactical skills of all the planetary leaders in the solar system have been implanted in the mind of a teenager, who has been sent out into space in a prototype craft to challenge the aliens. It's probably best to forget this, and remember that it is you against everything else that moves, then get on with the game. And what a game! The Myons start at Pluto and head through nine sectors on their way to Earth. Using your tracking computer and scanners, you have to locate the fast-moving enemy and annihilate the fleet before your planet is destroyed. Combat is depicted in superb three-dimensional graphics with excellent sound effects, and what makes the game extra special is the intelligence shown by the aliens, who adopt different strategies in their attacks upon your ship.
