 AD ASTRA Gargoyle 1984

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : Ad Astra - To The Stars - is the motto of the legendary Deep
Space Patrol. There is little to occupy a pilot as he doggedly coasts
from station to station...

 ...That is, unless you count the deadly phasers of the formations of
Pirate battle-cruisers and their robot Scout ships, the multi-
directional scatter bombs, the gigantic mine-layers of the Capellan
Anti-Terran League, the almost impenetrable curtain of lethal mines and
the fragmentation bombs, not to mention, of course, the ever- present
interstellar debris that litters areas of space...

 GAMEPLAY : If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't move, shoot it anyway!
Also, take a note of the security codes...

 COMMENTS : "Addictive, attractive graphics and very playable." RATING
 : 80% (CRASH #4, May 1984)

 NOW : Strictly of historical interest; Ad Astra is a very, very dated
game indeed.
