1985 Mastertronic Ltd (UK)
by the Severn Software
A pretty difficult game. I'm affraid to say that to control the ship you'll need loads of patience and some luck. We are supposed to save the earth by collecting nuclear pods of four different planets. But honestly I think we are too busy controlling our ship to make anything else. The game is colourful, with simple but effective graphics and sounds, but loses 1 point from me because of its difficulty.

Looks pretty but it's next to impossible to play. Could have been a great game if it wasn't for its brutal difficulty.

As lame as it gets ... !!!
1,5 / 5 .
On first impression this looks pretty with its nice looking colourful graphics. The meat in any game though is its gameplay, and this is where my love affair with 1985 ends.
Basically in gameplay terms the game is a disaster, it's so difficult to control your ship, so much so that I've hardly gotten out of the first screen! If I had bought this game I would certainly have been disappointed and I would feel I've wasted my money on a game I can't make any progression in and that's not because I'm a crap player. The game's fundamentals is dreadfully difficult and it makes it very hard to enjoy this game.
Not one of the most redeeming games in Mastertronic's history it has to be said.
An impossible battle against gravity and inertia.
