This is the biz! Critical Mass is one of those all too rare games that combines some of the tried and tested methods of a golden oldie, Asteroids, with plenty of new and refreshing elements.

Once again, your mission to is save life, the universe and everything. Alien forces have captured an anti matter conversion plant which supplies power to colonists in a planetary system. The aliens are threatening to turn the anti-matter plant onto 'self-destruct' - which would wipe out the entire planetary system and a couple of neighbouring stars as well - unless they receive unconditional surrender.

A desolate asteroid houses an advanced anti-matter conversion plant, set up by an outlying system of the Terra Federation. A group of aliens has penetrated its defences and has threatened to destroy the plant, turning it into a black hole which would suck thousands of inhabited planets into its colourless void. Your mission is to disable the plant before it achieves critical mass.

Eigentlich gefällt mir Critical Mass ziemlich gut, aber für ein sattes Grinsen im Bildchen links oben reicht es nicht ganz. Es ist nämlich ein Programm, das nach einer Weile etwas langweilig wird. Hatte man es jedoch eine Zeit lang im Schrank liegen, kehrt man gerne wieder zu Critical Mass zurück.
