Now here is a strange little game that I have never seen the like of
before. This game is very reminiscent of Space Invaders, and Missile Command You have to
protect 6 cities, firing on some of the wierdest attackers around. You have 3 levels of
difficulty, Missile speed, and shield strength. After each level you go to a menu where
you can purchase shields for your city, etc. The sound is quite cute, and so is the game,
actually; but boy is it hard. Since the enemy ships can speed up at will, you have to lead
your shots, and even then, they can put on a burst of speed and snicker at you.
This is a DOS based game and I tried to play it in windows which worked once; but the next
time I got a fatal error message, and had to reboot, so I bowed to the inevitable, and
went to DOS. The game is fun, and the price cant be beat.
