1989 Mastertronic Plus (UK)

I'm quite happy with this game. It as plenty of action placed in a different environment from usual, plays very well, looks good and is very engaging.
The initial level reminds me of the bay area where I live, without the London buildings, of course.
4,5 points

I never fancied this sort of video-games back in the 80´s and I do not fancy them now ... !!!
The boat is so huge and moves so slowly that it becomes an easy target ... I hate that feature in any game , and this is no exception !!!
AVOID !!
1,5 out of 5 .

Its a very competently programmed game where you steer your boat around enemy vessels and mines in the water whilst hunting down other vessels and shooting down towers.
The game is on rails - there's no stopping your boat.
I first reviewed this game for The Spectrum Games Bible a few years ago. It is similar in gameplay to the Spectrum classic Deathchase, and adds 'variety'.
In doing so it 'waters down' the immediacy and intensity that Deatchase pioneered on the Spectrum.
The result isn't awful, just not in the top ecehlon of Spectrum games.
