I liked it a lot when I played it at CaX in 2001. Enjoy :)

O wow, they had TWO of the known three there  ...... would love to go to CAX one day. Great pics, thanks !

Would be nice if that game would appear in MAME so more people could at least enjoy the gameplay. It looks great to me. Being a Mike Hally (Gravitar, SW) game it must be a good but challenging game...like Gravitar it may have been too hard for the average gamer in 1982 (reason why it was never released) but that would make it a great game to have now.

The gameplay looks fun and frantic. I can see you have to point at the various areas to light that area up and kill the enemies,until they get too close.

The hardware looks interesting too. Looks like reasonably "standard" Atari board but there is a 2nd board on the backside which is smaller, like a SW sound-board.
