I remember when I first saw this C-64 version I was attracted by the wonderful music. Sadly the game itself is not worth anything. Absolutely horrible design. Sprites move too fast, hectic, no chance for decent reaction. You have to remember where to stay on the screen to pass through. I mean what's the point of this? Another missed opportunity on C-64...
@maiki60fps Word. Way back in the day I thought it was my fault I couldn't dodge! I'm playing this now in the emulator and I realize it's not humanly possible to dodge the sprites, even when you're in peak condition! So you're stuck with memorizing the attack patterns, and pre-positioning your plane for each one.
