I got this game for 2.99, it was in one of them value packs among games like Hotshot, Plutos, Seconds Out Boxing etc

The graphics are poor, sound is poor in this scrolling shoot em up. The controls aren't all that great either. Because of the automatic scrolling you can get trapped and lose a life easy which is annoying

You can tell this is an early days game

It's the Paradox Software. I think they were some kind of Atari ST fans that were trying to produce shitty games for the Amiga. Check out the gane "Luxor" from them and see what I mean.

Not to be confused with the excellent Commando clone released a few years later, this was a horribly dull vertically scrolling shooter in which you took control of... Well, I'm not sure what it was exactly. It was white and it looked like a cross between a sports car and a tank.

Actually I assume it was meant to be the latter, because if it was a sports car it was the slowest example ever concieved - the game trundled along at a snail's pace as you took pot shots at various badly drawn enemy sprites. It may have been released in 1986 but there was no excuse for the game to look like a rushed C64 effort - if you want a vertical shooter for your Amiga there are better examples than this written in SEUCK.

1/10

Maybe 4/10 is a little harsh for a 1986 game but this really didn't have much to offer. Poor and slow gameplay with dull graphics and music.
