One of the first CD32 games I bought to use in the CD-Drive of my A1200. Of course, as many games on AMIGA, it's a nice technical achievement but we are far from the gameplay of the model, Starfox (aka Starwing). Less smooth, less variety in action, no immersive story, musics are not really my cup of tea to be honest. But in other hand, it's a really entertaining game. Destroy all ennemies while keeping safe installations and battles inside motherships are a good idea. Graphics are colorful and make go od use of untextured polygons. Play it on an expanded A1200/A4000/CD32 is also a good idea for smoother 3D.

So, don't see an amiga clone of Starfox and try it!

Very hard to master but for the time this was a good effort. One of the games to have in your CD32 collection.

Very Smooth gameplay. Graphics are excellent for the time made and sounds are great. Very hard to play though but a definate must for any CD32 gamer.

I remember liking the demo version better since after only a few levels of this it began to get frustrating for me. I ended up quitting since it was ruining my damn CD32 gamepad! Definitely one to revisit and I'm guessing an emulated version would be better than pulling out my old CD32 disc since it really needs some kind of higher CPU setting to keep it from bogging down speedwise. All and all, this game looked great for the time (I was jealous of SNES's Starfox at the time and this was the next best thing). The design was very appealing with some great levels (that I was able to get to). Oh, I seem to remember some kool tunes that played as well. I'd turn it UP!!

8/10--would rate it higher but the difficulty level burned me out too quickly.

Quite a good game and my first CD32 game at all (Besides Diggers & Oscar of course, which came with it). Cool graphics and a fast arcadey gameplay.

At least 030-board with some fast ram makes this one go as fast as lightning! Great shoot'em'up...

I love this game, I played it thousands of times, now graphics looks not so smooth but it was acceptable for that age, it is a great 3D shooter perfect for the CD32 pad (all buttons are important to control your ship)

Yeah I remember this and it was OK but I wasn't a big fan of it to be quite honest.
