Title
The pulsating Eucledian visuals make this a must-play for the generation that also gave us trance and acid house.

Title
Its a cool shooter with a nice visual style and the perspective gives the illusion of 3d. For that reason, it feels more immersive than other shoot em ups at the time. But you have to play the actual arcade version, because the atari 2600 version is complete shite.

    This is my favorite arcade game of the era, if not just for the cool vector graphics.
