This is not an U.F.O. , this is rather an A.F.O. ( Annoying Flying Object ) ... !!!
Too difficult for my taste !!
1987 Scorpio Gamesworld (UK)
by Barry Jones
Hypertron is a re-release and updated version, which I prefer best, of Valley of the Dead, by the same author. It's one of the few action games by Barry Jones and a real test on the nerves.
Hypertron [Scorpio Gamesworld]
It's a rehash and re-release under new particulars, a false name and a plastic surgery that left it exactly as ugly as it was, of a game from 1985 titled The Valley Of The Dead, by the prolifically demented programmer Barry Jones, which in some 1986's review I baptised "the Ed Wood of Spectrum games". The game, as I remember it, is so hard that you may want to bite your head off.
1/5

Exactly the same as Valley of the Dead except you are a robot rather that a hot air balloon and it is somewhat easier as I was able to get past the 1st screen numerous times, but it's the same game and it's equally crap. What on earth made Barry Jones think he could release this twice?
