It has been years since I have played this game on my Atari 520ST. It was one of the free games I received when I was first bought the computer. I didn’t try it for ages as I did not think it would be my type of game and left it at the bottom of the pile. One day I was bored with the games I had and thought I would give it a go. From then on, I was hooked for hours at a time.
With its simple yet effective graphics, you are thrown in to a 3d world of strange looking objects, things that shoot you and a quest to complete every mission you are sent on in order to open the door at the end for the odd looking woman/man. In the opening scene, you are flying or gliding through a tunnel with a bird in front of you to direct you through. There are bars and poles to evade and do not keep hitting the side or its game over before you have even started. The controls are all via the mouse which to be honest does take a while to get used to but once you have mastered the controls and steered through the tunnel,
the game really gets started.
You have to check your 'inbox' for messages on which tasks you have to complete. You carry these out by looking at the blue print of the building you are in. You can navigate around the map fairly easily and like I said before, once you have mastered the crude yet difficult controls, you are well on your way.
I have never played a game like this before, or even one like it since. There where lots of other games out at the time, but tended to be platform, shoot em up or your basic puzzle games. I have not seen anything like this game before and would highly recommend this game to anyone who doesn't mind the limited graphics and hard to use steering. But just maybe, the steering thing was just me! The game is easy to use and simple to navigate round. It’s very colorful and the items you have to shoot and look for are easy to spot once you know what you are looking for!!!!
It has really been a trip down memory lane for me. I may be the only person in the world who loved this game and still does but hey, I do not care! I am a huge Interphase fan and proud to admit it.
