"Love it! Yes, it`s got Speccy graphics, but this game rocks! One of the best CPC shooters available."

"A real disappointment to me... others think this is a great conversion but not me... it really is a poor arcade conversion to cpc. "
Gryzor says
"Most probably the best shoot`em up on the CPC, with really pretty graphics (mode 1 works very well, even low on colour) and amazing gameplay. Really addictive with lots of features, excelent levels and frantic action."
Hiro says
"Great gameplay but the graphics really should have been done in 16 color Mode 0"

"Bad graphics and poor sound really hurt this game... but the level design and playability of the arcade still shine through. One of the best shoot-em-ups of all time and one of the best on the CPC. "
