Game ID req

Post by Cruithne3753 »

You controlled what I think was some sort of small spaceship which collected crystals scattered randomly across the screen whilst avoiding obstacles (asteroids? stars?). Upon clearing a screen, the next would be more crowded. I can't remember if there were moving enemies on later levels.

Controls were up/down left/right with accumulative momentum to make things tricky.

Any ideas?

Sounds like Superior Software's Sinistar / Deathstar ...

Nope, there was no shooting and it was all on one screen without scrolling.

Was it definitely on the BBC and not the Archimedes?

There's an Arc title which springs to mind...

I'd have said Ewgeebez until re-reading there was no scrolling or shooting. Did the obstacles move at all?
