Description

The speech in the introductory sequence probably sums things up best - "the biggest unanswered question is 'where is the money?'". You have 4 missions to take on, in each case trying to kill baddies for the money they have, which can be spent in the shop rooms to upgrade your craft. Your energy is depleted by contact with enemies and the walls, although there are some baddies who simply hover on your ship and steal from you, rather than physically doing damage.

The game is a shoot 'em up which scrolls both horizontally and vertically, while being viewed from an R-Type style sideways perspective. Navigating the levels sometimes requires you to duck through gaps in scenery.

Trivia

The artwork used on the front of the box and on the intro screen was made by the well known British illustrator Peter Andrew Jones. A lot of Peter Andrew Jones' art has appeared on (sci-fi) book covers. This painting was also used the cover of Peter's autobiography Solar Wind vol. 1 and in the Netherlands it appeared on the cover of Ringworld Throne (dutch edition) by Larry Niven.
