INTRODUCTION:
Secret fighter plane PK430 has been stolen from your country, and it is up to you to get it back. You will drive a buggy equipped with a gun and "BreakThru" five different enemy strongholds. On your way you will encounter obstacles such as land mines, rocks, soldiers, jeeps, flamethrowers, tanks, trucks, armored vehicles, and helicopters.
Extra lives can be found, as well as a power up that gives the player a temporary three-way cannon.
REVIEW:
This is an arcade port, and quite a good one for the Spectrum. You have to drive through four levels where you will be attacked by soldiers shooting at you while you also have to avoid minefields. There is also landslides and rockfalls blocking your way but you can jump over these. You will also meet blown up bridges where you have to jump to survive.
This is a fast paced game with good use of colors and scrolling. It plays and looks great. It might seem a little short but it is quite difficult to complete, as you have to memorize how to get past certain places. Originally this was a 48k game, this is a modded version by Galaforce with AY intro soundtrack and AY in game sound fx.
The game was published by US Gold Ltd in 1986.
