Halley's Comet is a germ bag and it's up to me to save
the earth (yet again?). But
The Comet Game is a whole different
bag and I think I'll sit this one out and let the earth perish if it's all
the same to you.
En route to said celestial dirty snowball the astronaut is in a
state of suspended animation, leaving the ship's computer to do
the boring day-to-day jobs. It would be more fun to play the
sleeping spaceman but instead you get to play the computer.
It's often been said that computers aren't actually clever but
they're good at doing repetitive tasks fast. Human beings on the
other hand soon get bored with repetition. This game is structured
around the repetition of five simple arcade games leading to a
final shoot 'em up. Yawn!
Quite what Firebird is doing releasing it is beyond me unless it
couldn't resist doing a tie-in without having to pay royaltiesl The
comet should now be winging
its way back into space. I only
wish it would take this game
with it!
