EAGLE
EMPIRE
Alligata, £7.95 cass, joystick and keys
|
Anyone
who frequented the arcades a few years ago will remember
Phoenix. This excellent conversion to the 64
by the author of Guardian is again accurate to
the tiniest detail.

The
game puts you against five waves of the Eagle Empire,
climaxing with the giant Eagle fortress. The first two
screens present you with Galaxian-type birds
making kamikaze attacks on your craft. The next two
screens look harmless at first, just eggs floating about
on the screen. But! These hatch into giant eagles which
swoop and attack you in horrific fashion.
After
this is the Great Mothership. Destroy this and move
on to the next challenging level.
Sound
is pretty disappointing, nothing like the screams and
explosions of the original.
