1988Alkuperäiset peli-ideat tuntuvat olevan kiven alla, mutta että Microdeal sortuu tekemään keskinkertaisen pystyvierityspelin...
Ideana on siis se, että maisema vierii aluksen alla ylhäältä alas, ja alusta ammutaan niin maasta kuin ilmastakin. Lisäksi mukaan on ahdettu maasta pommittavia bonustoimintoja, joiden kuulemma pitäisi helpottaa hengissä pysymistä, mutta ei niistä sen kummempaa hyötyä tunnu olevan.
Kaiken muun pahan lisäksi mittaritaulu on sijoitettu ruudun alalaitaan, jolloin varsinainen vierivä maisema jää hyvin kapeaksi, eikä vastaan tuleviin kohteisiin ehdi reagoida läheskään kunnolla.
1988Original game ideas seem to be thin on the ground, but that Microdeal should stoop to making a mediocre vertical scroller...
So the idea is that the landscape scrolls beneath your ship from top to bottom, and the ship gets shot at from the ground as well as from the air. On top of that, bonus features that you bomb out of the ground have been crammed in, which are supposed to make staying alive easier, but they don't seem to be of much use at all.
On top of all the other evils, the instrument panel has been put at the bottom of the screen, which leaves the actual scrolling landscape very narrow, and you don't get anywhere near enough time to react to the targets coming at you.
