Roger has boon careless enough a lor a pack of theiving aliens steal his spaceship and spread it about the local planet. Now he's 'wreckless' enough to try to go and get it back. However probably the most reckless thing of all would be to buy this game. It's basically a single screen game where Roger appears with his jet pack and a laser frying around a rectangular box. Into the box appear alien objects, two at a time intent on killing Roger. He has to blast them away until they stop reappearing although there are only ever two of them on screen at once After a while they step coming and Roger can move horizontally or vertically to a new screen where the only difference will be the border design. The aliens follow simple movement patterns around the screen and corne in quite a nice variety of shapes. If Roger runs into the aliens they gradually sap his energy until he loses one of his three lives all of which is done very jerkily indeed. That's all there is to the game - just flying about the screen dodging the aliens and blasting mindlessly away at them. The only evidence that this isn't a one screen shoot-em-up is the changing borders and the occasional occurrence of a piece of ship. This may numb your mind for five minutes before making it shrivel up completely. BW
