Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
One of Tony Crowther's earlier C64 titles, Killer Watt is a really weird game involving piloting a spacecraft through an underground cavern, blasting a series of lightbulbs handing from the ceiling, before heading to the exit. You can bag extra points by shooting the equally bizarre monsters roaming around, which become more prevalent with each of the 5 levels of difficulty.
There's not an awful lot of variety here, and somewhat tortuous and off-key rendition of Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor will begin to grate before too long, but the scrolling is impressively smooth for its time, something that would become a hallmark of Crowther's later games.
