Critical Mass by Durell
Synopsis:
An outlying system of the Terra Federation has set up an advanced anti matter conversion plant on a centrally positioned asteroid to supply the local colonists with energy. A surprise attack by alien forces has successfuly overcome the asteroids defences and the aliens are not threatening to self destruct the power plant unless the colonists offer an unconditional surrender. The self destruct process would effectively turn the power plant into a massive black hole that would wipe out the entire planetary system along with a number of nearby stars. Unconditional surrender offers an equally horrific prospect. Your mission is to infiltrate the enemy positions and disable the anti-matter plant before the aliens achieve Critical Mass.

"A tough isometric arcade shooter with mode 2 gfx and simple spot sound fx. If you manage to get the hold of the controls (similar to Asteroids, with lots of inertia) it can be fun! "

"Forget the lack of colour, the graphical detail is fantastic. The inertia system is brilliant and the game is a classic."
