GameplayA strategy game with the same problems as Attack by the same author. Written in BASIC, so it’s slow, though for a strategy that’s not fatal. But the sluggish, buggy, unclear controls are worse. Starting a campaign with key ‘L’ isn’t right. Even so, Boris’s games can still entertain, and once he masters compilers, they’ll improve dramatically.

GraphicsVery simple but functional: yes, even in BASIC you can do higher quality graphics, but the main thing is that you don’t get lost in what’s happening. Units and objects aren’t just crudely converted but lovingly drawn by hand.

SoundAs in Attack, there’s beeper music on the title screen, and in-game just very simple sharp sounds. Might as well have no sound at all.

Gameplay1st menu choice is in Russian so I have no idea what I'm selecting. There's some in game instructions which is good. But the bland looking gameplay area made me not want to get any further. So I didn't get into the game at all.

GraphicsAnother with no loading screen — boo hiss boo! Oh there IS a loading screen but it only shows up half way into the loading sequence. That's a bit weird. Load your screen straight after the basic loader! It's then quickly ruined by being pushed up 1 charac

GameplayThis game is a variant of 'Attack' with some different elements, but overall my comments are the same, takes too long to get started even though there is some gameplay in here.
