Attack On Alpha Centauri is a new game from Software Invasion, who specialise in producing high quality three-dimensional graphical games. The game features some of the best and most unusual graphics yet for the BBC Micro.

This is a version of Galaxians the like of which you've never seen before. An alien landscape is displayed which has been very well designed using the technique of overlaying colours to produce many different shades. When the game starts, one of several volcanos erupts and impressive-looking insects fly out which you then have to shoot down. As the insects come for you, they actually increase in size until they disappear over the horizon. Some of these effects are really very impressive.

This game, like the others so far produced by Software Invasion, is an excellent example of what can be achieved on the BBC and is highly recommended.
