War Machine

An alien syndicate has taken control of an asteroid mining installation and it's down to you to find four bits of a super-weapon and use it on the queen alien before she takes over and starts filling the place with baby aliens. The mine is a platform-packed multi-screen labyrinth hiding all sorts of nasty surprises, but you're well equipped to do battle with the best (or worst) of 'em.

War Machine is definitely the best budget release of the month. The gameplay is compelling, the graphics are very colourful, and there are some really pretty special effects which give the game that bit of extra polish that's so often missing from Amstrad budget titles.

Superb arcade adventuring action. One of the few budget arcade adventures really worth playing.
