Warhawk

A jolly little shoot-'em-up from Firebird with absolutely no plot whatsoever for reviewers to write about. You are piloting your ship "Warhawk" on an anonymous mission into the asteroid belt. Your task is to blast as many of the ground bases as possible as you fly over them. They explode nicely leaving craters a la Uridium and there is a healthy bonus should you manage to succeed in destroying them all. Naturally, they are heavily defended with both asteroids and starfighters launching homing mines at you.

You start each level with ten protective shields and such is the pace of the action that you will need more of them. Complete one asteroid belt and go on to the next one - a hero's job is never done.

That's about it. The shortest review that I have ever written. The game is great fun to play, especially at the price and marvellous for those odd half hours when all you want to do is blast something.
