However,
I can't be too rude about it because I couldn't play
much of it. I'd already failed to load one copy of this
game, and Hey Presto, this version crashed after a couple
of minutes. The malfunction took the form of retaining
the graphics and all the input routines, but simply
corrupting the text display so that I couldn't read
anything.
That
said, is the fact that I still managed to move around
a compliment, an insult to the game's complexity, or
of no significance? I can certainly tell you that the
vocabulary is rather small and the pictures are rather
dull. Apart from the basic storyline, however, I must
remain silent. All I can tell you is that you must prevent
an asteroid from blasting into Earth with catastrophic
effects by shooting off in your space craft and zapping
it with whatever you can find that will do the trick.
As
plots go, it sounds quite good. Unfortunately as the
text goes, it went. Perhaps US Gold will send me yet
another copy, and in the meantime if you think you can
handle lack-lustre graphics, a small vocabulary, and
good ol' American two-word input, then give it a crack.
