Player Reviews
Average score: 3.7 out of 5 (based on 5 ratings with 1 reviews)
One of the best shareware games I had going up in the 80s
The Good
This was a really fun game that I spent many hours playing. Very smooth animation, sharp graphics, smart enemies, and good controls. I played on a PCjr and most of the time it was fine but occasionally it would lock up requiring a reboot. I've never seen others complain about that so assume it was the PCjr, especially now that I learn it used a "tweaked" CGA mode. Get this one for your PC or PC/XT if you haven't tried it!
The Bad
Minor compatibility with PCjr casing lockups. Does not seem to happen on my 5160 IBM PC/XT today.
The Bottom Line
Two ships equipped with phasers and torpedoes. Various play mode including gravity and planets.
