Another maze, another snake, but still simple fun. This one was released as part of Infogrames’ Kid Kit package aimed at young CPC enthusiasts, but it was never published as a separate game. We have several mazes, many dots to eat and one ravenous snake. This time the graphics are very simple, but they are smooth and fast and feature a good screen shaking effect if you run into a dead end or your tail. The process of guiding your snake is relatively responsive but the very familiar piece of music used throughout becomes annoying. An original composition would have been appreciated. A bit of five-minute fun to have a go at from time to time.
A no-nonsense shoot-’em-up from the creators of Uridium, this is a more Nemesis-style state of affairs, with simple side scrolling action as you guide your trusty spacecraft against marauding alien crafts and defences along a space-based environment that flows quickly past you. Swatting the enemy ships is relatively easy in itself, but avoiding the protruding landscape and fire from the defences makes this a much tougher proposition, especially as you have no control of your speed. Thankfully, power-ups are available to pick up along the way, as you encounter even larger, better protected vessels and asteroids. So while it isn’t an original piece of gameplay, it does have some very colourful, pretty graphics, charming music and funky sound effects all in its favour.
