@thelyniezian I now have a Master and a copy of Thrust to be able to answer this question myself, and the answer would appear to be: yes, until game over, and then it crashes (the system, not the spaceship!)
Acorn made well over 1,000,000 of the critters. It seems incredible how much they go for on eBay. I expect shipping from the UK to Australia to be pretty high. If I ever come that way, I'll bring over a few!
hey do you what the online game very similar to this is?. its a 2 player game with the gravity movements where you have to race around through caves like this and first to the landing point wins. i dont think there is any shooting involved. i had it on old pc and just cant find it anywhere online now
nice to see you destroying the reactors as well.a lot of people never bothered.great game,great memorys! I want this on my ps3! 2.99 from the playstation store! go on sony.pleeease!!!!
Memorys of playing this game as well !! When i had to load the tapes....it could take 30 mins....to load tapes up...was so pleased to have flooopy disks..
It was and still is a great game. I assume that at £2 it was the version that came on cassette tape. I used to have the Atari 1010, Atari 410, and C64 Datasette tape drives. IMHO, of those three, the Datasette was the most reliable followed by the Atari 410. My Atari 1010 broke down because it was one of those cheap Tramiel-made ones. Damn Tramiels putting out cheap Atari crap. Damn them all to hell.

this game was £2 on the Commodore 64 - a Firebird budget game. MircoPower charged full price £10 for the BBC version in 1986.

Quality. A real blast from the past. You should still be destroying the reactor on levels 4 & 5 though.
And the best way to deal with the zero gravity levels was to turn your telly upside down.
