WHAT MORE? CRL is justifiably proud of Tau Ceti- its 3D line graphics were mixed with excellent gameplay to produce a near classic game. Tau Ceti is now available on the Amstrad and is as good as ever - maybe better. The idea of the game is to battle your way across a planet's surface searching for pieces of cooling rod which must be assembled and then used to destroy a reactor gone AWOL. Sundry considerations include finding fuel, repairing damages and collecting missiles. The screen is divided into several sections - the cockpit view has the clever graphics, other sections provide damage reports etc. The 3D scrolling is very neat indeed, nice and smooth, and there is much imagination in the graphic design of the planet. I particularly liked the flashing obelisks (a well known 60's band) and the pyramids.  
You get a plot that sustains the interest for what may be many hours of play, whizz-bang state of the art graphics, and lots and lots of things to blow to bits. I ask you; what more do you need? PCW
