Zone Trooper

You are a member of an outer reaches Trooper team. A group of renegade aliens has captured a team of Zone Troopers and taken them to their base complex. The atmosphere is dangerous on the planet and several plasma pods must be found to save the humans once they have been rescued.

You must search the complex, dodging robots and aliens, collecting and using items, and utilising the INFONET computer system to gain information.

This game looks years old! The graphics are poor, the control lousy, the sound weak and the gameplay tedious. Not really much going for it, is there? Things got off to a shaky start when the instructions consisted of 'Joystick PORT 2, SPACE - PAUSE, INST/DEL - QUIT'. Extensive, eh? I think I can safely say that this is the worst budget game to appear for a while.
