Philip Ruston and Players Premier second best game on the C64, eclipsed only by TaskForce.
Both games were obviously very derivative and neither were as good as the games they obviously payed homage to but still very worthy of playing in their own right.

An enjoyable flick screen blast and a solid if unremarkable budget release.

A budget Cybernoid. Nice try, but if you owned either Hewson classic, this could only ever be considered to be a pale immitation.

Great graphics, usual of the lads from Players Premier. Good gameplay... But... Players' sprite moves are simply LOUSY!!!

Great game in Cybernoid style. The graphics are excellent and so is the sound. Game-play is a little bit addictive and fun. The SPHINX crack and +18 was stunning anyway...
