Aim of the game

Anarchy has broken out on the planet Sentinel 4 and rebels have taken over. You have been chosen for a mission: break into the rebels' a mmunition depot and destroy the entire supply, thus dealing a crushing blow to the rebellion. You have been given an ACE Mk.2 Interceptor tank with which to carry out your mission.

Game play

Drive your tank around the complex to destroy all the weapons containers but at the same time, you must avoid the guard droids as they will kill you on sight. When all of the containers have been destroyed the building's security grid will open and allow you deeper into the complex. There is a time limit of about two minutes to complete the mission in each building, otherwise the security system will detect your presence and drain the oxygen from the building in order to kill you. Every fifth building within the complex contains the rebels' captured nuclear weapons. These are guarded by a special droid which detects the presencee of an intruder, following you until it catches and destroys you.

Comments

"A straightforward, addictive puzzle shoot-em-up".

Basically a jazzed-up version of PENGO, but a nice game nonetheless.
