This game was published in 1983 by Joe the Lion.

The game has two levels:
- the first one where you fly over the ground and shoot at aliens coming toward you
- the second one where you basically do the same thing but this time you can also move up and down, making things much more difficult!

One particular detail is that when enemies have been destroyed they left behind some debris that will make you lose a life if you collide it, which means you have to keep moving: You can't just keep shooting while moving forward.

While not being particularly interesting to play (personal opinion of course), the programmer - John Sandham -, managed to get some pretty impressive effects for the time: I can't remember any other Oric game with a 3D starfield.

So, a game worth trying, if only to see the technical feat.
