Great to see this game on here! I wrote this back in 1984 just before going off to University. it was the last game that I wrote for the VIC 20 (I also wrote Space Fortress and Multisound Synthesizer). The idea is to fly your spaceship (the little blue one) around the big red space cruiser, protecting it from the Nasties and the occasional meteor until you reach the home planet. Amazing to think now that it all fitted into about 3.5K of memory!

Like all VIC games it was written in machine code and took about 2 months to do (in the evenings after college).
I am no longer in games design but am an internet consultant and occasionally do web pages.
