   About this game a long time to tell nothing, because sure 
every second is it ever played. In a nutshell: Your task - 
controlling the spaceship to destroy all the enemy bases in a 
given sector. As the job you go to the next level. With

   Honestly, before I end this game had not yet figured out. But
apparently, she's my favorite shooters discharge effect
presence and the space theme. The action takes place on the 
space station, occupied space monsters. But the thing is that 
apart from fighting you obviously can do something else. That's 
what I did not have time to understand. Impression of a good 
Graphics spoils complete absence of sound and CHEATa.

   Fans of space battles certainly pay attention to
this game, because along with a cool shaded vector graphics and 
sound effects, you can control a spacecraft with a wide range 
of service functions. Because with I recommend early in the 
game override keys, or at least look at their schedule, to deal 
with the management of your space liner. After that you can 
safely go into the flight, and flying from planet to planet, 
destroying space pirates.

   Finally, all the expected game went on sale. As well
bummer by those who acquire it when they see that the author of 
the disk version (apparently in pursuit of the championship 
game of the new release) do not bother to immortalize her than 
it did, or rather left virtually unplayable for most users. So 
sorry because the game itself is pretty good. The graphics are 
very similar to a second part, but much more dynamic.

   So in conclusion, a few words about the absolute hit of the 
week. The game takes up the entire disk and is protected 
against copying. The purpose of the game: moving "move the 
horse, turn over all the chips on a given pattern. If you 
succeed, you can witness the full-scan images of beautiful 
women. The game has advanced adjustment interface that can not 
cause a well-deserved praise for its authors. It is hoped that
