Notes: Mark Sabbatini. Retro Gaming Times Monthly

When you're dealing with those largely similar "just another horizontal space shooter" titles. it's the little things that often make big differences between the winners and losers. This is one of the losers. It's a Scramble-like multistage quest. minus the need to constantly bomb fuel tanks. scrolling somewhat unusually from left to right. The concept is OK. with various ship and weapon enhancements possible by collecting the right items. and a nice variety of landscapes and enemies. But your movement. the graphics and collision detection are all amateur class. The controls are too imprecise. Often objects tend to overlap and partially block each other out. And often you die by simply being near something instead of actually hitting it. Disappointing. considering this comes from Elite Software. one of the few well-known software houses to produce titles for these machines.
