Well this is really a nice surprise.
Lots of other games like this have been made, like Blue Thunder, Krakatoa, etc.
But this one plays very smoothly and features six different levels with three missions each (Blue thunder only had one!!).
It's true the game becames repetitive and with todays game maps in .png files available in the web the incentive of playing to see the next level is almost gone. Still when I rate a game I try to see it with the point of view of my playing early days, and I think I would have played this one a lot.
Very simple but very playable shoot-em-up.

A great little arcade which looks nice and plays very well despite its age. A good example of earlier Spectrum gaming.
