The popularity of simulations such as war games and flight simulators is increasing. To perform well you must invest time and effort but the rewards are great.

This program is to space rocket simulators what Flight Simulator II is to aircraft.

Have no illusions, this game requires a lot of work. the A5 size, 47 page instructions will take time to digest. It is written as a pukka training manual of the future.

On loading, you get a front view with instrument panel and view out of the canopy. You take off down a ramp and go into space. The instrumentation is bemusing and described in detail in the manual.

In true tradition of space games, you patrol the universe and zap the aliens. Not easy since the opposition is aggressive. There is a training mode which goes through the various phases at a gentle pace.

The graphics aren't exceptional but are very nicely designed and all perform smoothly and faultlessly.

If you enjoy a challenge with the opportunity to slice up aliens, give this a close look. You won't be disappointed.
