It's blimmin' amazing y'know. Just when you think it's safe to go
back into the computer shop, something like this happens. I refuse to
play
Space Invaders/
Astro Fighter/
Galaxians or any of their million
clones unless I'm in a small room on an island in the Pacific where
no-one will see me and laugh. No, don't you start... Okay, I'm gonna
come out of the closet and declare myself to the world. I like to play
Invaders, always have done, and always will. So getting into a new
version that you can play without embarrassment is a breath of fresh
air.
Although this is one of Firebird's cheapest games, the gameplay
is lovely and quick, the sound effects are impressive (good synth
music too!) and the explosions satisfying enough to sate even the
most demanding BEM (bug-eyed monster) butcher.
Interesting note: The names on the Hi-Score Table when you boot
up are quotes from
Star Wars, as the older film buffs among you will
suss immediately. Obviously the product of SW fans... ah, I
remember, back in the dark ages of 1977... (snip!)
I strongly advise you to buy
this game, because for
two quid you really
can't go wrong!
