Futuristically jepacking through a brick wall maze looking for diamonds, while wicked and frantic beings kill you each 1 or 2 seconds, including some bugs from Pssst.
Basic and unappealing. More like Krapton Raiders.

I would have loved this back in the 80´s ! ! !
Stunning video-game with a seducing futuristic setting . . .
Soft movements and cute graphs make a perfect game . Pure enjoyement ! ! !
Spanish software at its best ! !
Ps - The scroll is the main letdown here . This is why I am not giving my 5 stars , , , also because you die too fast ! ! !
4.5 / 5 .

Wow! I had completely forgotten about this game. Thanks for refreshing my memories, dandyboy!
Krypton Raiders is one of the earliest games by renowned Spanish programmer Snatcho, and also one of the most playable indeed. It's simple and straight to the point: catch all the 4 diamonds and get back to the Heli base to escape from planet Krypton.
The graphics are very basic but cute, and reminiscent of the Ultimate games. The action is fast, with full firing opportunities and plenty of nasties to choose from, a bit like Atic Atac, with weird looking aliens appearing everywhere.
A bit more variety with the maze walls would have been nice, and less aliens too (sometimes there are swarms of them!), but it's still fun.

It's sort of like a mixture of Bubble Bus' Brainstorm and Starquake with a blend of Jetpac. It's quite alright actually, there is a problem with dying easily and constantly and it's certainly enough to lose a point but it is not to Bestial Warrior's level. It's quite playable and quite enjoyable, not bad at all really. There are good 3s and not so good 3s, those that are disappointing and not what you hoped for are the bad 3s while the good 3s are those that were better than you expected and this falls onto that category.
