Rehash of the old arcade Armageddon, with cuter graphics. But why when my shooting base has been hit and I can't defend the earth anymore I must behold the slow and total annihilation of the planet? Whatever.

It's Missile Command and I played a very good clone before Christmas called Repulsar by Softek which was released in 1983. This is from 1988 and from Alternative Software, and because it's Alternative Software you'd expect this to be a very cheap and very bad Missile Command clone, but actually, yes that's exactly what this is. It's slow, bland, it kills the mood pretty much instantly and it really didn't take long for me to determined that Replusar is a much better clone is every aspect. And the best part of the game? If you wish to play it on a Kempston joystick, or prefer to play it on a Kempston joystick, tough, because it crashes the moment you select it, and this was passed for release, clearly untested. Enough said.
