UFO

by Andrew Wright

from Your Sinclair #14 (Feb.1987)



Choom! The lasers spit death at the leering alien swarmer, and it

disintegrates into a rapidly expanding cloud of dust. Even as it

explodes another one, green this time, shoots out of the exit from the

hive, whirling fast, knives drawn. There's only seconds to draw a bead

... Choom! A hit! How many more?



You must destroy all the alien swarmers. If they hit the wall behind

you, their electronic tentacles shoot out and crush you. You'd better

watch those blue swarmers, 'cos their tentacles reach across the whole

play area.



You can't teach an old BEM (bug-eyed monster) new tricks, or so they

say. But in UFO, the tired old invaders riff gets a new twist. A fast

and furious shoot 'em up, simple and yet frighteningly addictive.



Keys for play are: O, P and Y for right handers; Q, W and T for left

handers; or Interface 2 or Kempston joystick.
