A port of the Jaleco arcade shmup and what can you say about it? Oh I know! It's a shmup! Looks like a shmup, plays like a shmup, sounds like a shmup, feels like a shmup, it's a shmup, you're either into these or your not.

But I actually enjoyed this game, the power-ups add to this game tremenduosly, the graphics aren't the best as it's all monochrome but has some good detail on the planes, sound isn't the greatest as it's just the typical blip blop sounds we're used too but I suppose they fit this game but the gameplay is really good.

I've played better shmups on the ZX Spectrum but I've certainly played a lot worse, but then again I've pretty much played every shmup on the ZX Spectrum to ever knowingly exist (not counting the MIA's of course) and I never get tired of the dull, redundant, samey gameplay, if you are bored of it or if it's not your type of game then you won't enjoy it. But for shmup fans it's worth a look, you might have a different opinion than mine but...it's worth a look.

This is a pretty nice shooter. It's smooth, responsive and looks pretty good too. I never played the arcade game let alone this so I wasn't sure what I was in for, but I was pretty pleased with this all round.
