As far as I am aware, this is the first C64 release from Imagine, the infamous 'Rockstar' label that lived fast and died young. Released on C64, Speccy, Dragon 32 and, on the first game i can remember playing at home, the humble Vic-20. The C64 version is a horrible jerky mess with flickering sprites and a hard to control ship. Each level is a survival of 99 seconds with a different pattern each level. The variable speed problem makes the game borderline unplayable. Other versions are considerably better, even the Vic version. File with Annihilator in the early basic games file.
