A classic Shooter for the 2600
The Good
I have to admit, this was one of my favorite games growing up. It was like Space Invaders on steroids. The various ships break up the monotony existing in other shooters at the time and the unique shapes of the attacking enemies made them more fun to shoot down. Combine that with the unpredictable patterns the ships take and you have for a most fun experience. This is definitely a classic.
The Bad
As with any 2600 game, there is a lot of repetitively and many may find this too boring. Also, this is a difficult game so someone new to the genre may have difficulty getting past some of the first waves.
The Bottom Line
Again, this is like Space Invaders on steroids. The ships attacking you come fast and furious with multiple waves. Each wave gives a new design of attacking ships (each with their own little animation) and a new pattern of movement. These movements, although difficult at first can be mastered through experience.
