This was based on the C64 game called 'Shark' I converted from the Spectrum. I was never that happy with how the C64 version turned out (it was only my second attempt at a commercial release) so this was a sort of a redux for me I guess. I originally intended for it to be a commercial (budget) game but for various reasons it got shelved for a while. I finally finished it in 1995 and it was released as shareware through F1 Licenceware.There's still a few control and gameplay niggles but all in all, its not bad.

Gameplay is pretty straightforward: Find your way out of the maze-like levels shooting the aliens along the way and facing off against a boss at the end. There's mission-ettes to complete - info is given at the start of each level - and sometimes certain weapons are required for certain situations (function keys F1-F4 toggle those).

You can run the game under emulation on the PC using WinUAE or use an .adf to floppy program and run on a real Amiga (1 Meg RAM required).
