1985 - Softek (UK)
by Graeme Devine
Like it says on WOS this is basically Firebirds but with a few modifications.
No doubt a great 'Phoenix' version, very hard and challenging, I rarely played it more than 10 minutes because of it being so damn difficult.
It has same programming faults, the sprites should move in pixels rather than square blocks, but overall it's a good game within its genre. For '85 it is completely outdated.
