Crash Issue 1, Feb 1984   page(s) 47

Producer: Abacus, 16K
£5.00

Prevent the enemy from attacking the five Sentinel space stations with your buy ships. Careful though - your three remaining ships (lives) are docked with the station so if your protective screen isn't effective you can lose lives before you've even had a chance to use them! Enemy comes in various forms and meteroids make life impossible at times. Your weapons are laser and a guided missile so you have to contend with left/right rotation, thrust, laser fire, missile fire and two controls for guiding it, which makes Sentinel a game for the four-handed player! Oh, and there's a force field for the station five-handed player! A good fast and furious game. Good value. No joystick option.
