Control your Marauder Battlecar to destroy and pass through the alien defence systems. Use smart bombs when needed. Shooting the right colour will give you extra shields, smart bombs or even battlecars. Technically very well coded game with very impressive graphics, multicolour smooth sprites and scrolling; coupled with top-notch SID generated music all running at rock solid framerate. Bad things about the Commodore version: (1) your shots do not reach very far in the horizontal directions - impossible to shoot many objects (2) as a vertical scrolling game, you would expect the playfield to be rather vertically oriented but the game actually is overgrown horizontally, not even occupying all the potential scanlines vertically (3) gameplay is not so intence and balanced as I would expect - often leading to tough situations impossible to get away from
