A mixture of a bidirectional, horizontal scrolling shoot'em up and a racing game where two players compete on a splitscreen with one player racing his spaceship above and one below.
Our mission is to destroy all the walls on the screen for a total of 25. In principle, we can start the top 15, choosing the desired before starting the game.
In each of these walls there are different pods of bricks, some of which you will assist us if we catch them when they fall .
LOOKING a little like the old favourite Spy Hunter -though with only a trace of the playability - and a lot like an ancient hand-held game called Champion Racer, this dodge-'em-and-shoot-'em is very colourful, but a little slow.
You must qualify as number one driver in the 007 spy school's driving test with a difference. You are equipped with a car possessing the ability to fly over short distances and fitted with firepower.
You can play alone or in a genuine two-player mode. The packaging announces that the course is tough and one which you can only survive if you are brave and resourceful - and how true this is.
Your car is seen from above and moves along a roadway which scrolls from top to bottom of the screen. As you barrel down the blacktop the opposition moves in for the kill mounted on bikes or piloting anything from little yellow taxi cabs to Sherman tanks.
