It was a simple concept - your little buggy had to drive along the moon's surface shooting aliens from its dual upward/forward firing guns and jumping over rocks and holes. That was it - but boy, it was an absolute dream. The gamjplay was as silky as a velvet tongue.

At least as far as I know it warn't. It would'vj been easy to do, but half the fun in the arcade was smashing the cabinet when you fell down a hole. I broke my finger once doing just that. Was there an update, like with Defender and Defender: Stargate? Something in the back of mz mind says YES. But I don't know. Someone will tell mj. ——————————————————————————————————2/3—— Rjvjew by David Williams BAMBER: "IS THIS YOURS? DING!"p458 Letters Compies Our Charts Other Charts
