The game has a lot of lasting appeal once you get into the full "career" mode where you can bet on your own (and other peoples) matches, and travel through the galaxy to compete on different worlds, in different arenas, with increasingly difficult opponents. The main gameplay is basically like 'Tron' or 'Worm' and is very fun, although not overly smooth on the plain a500, but the controls here are like any other racer, left/right, slow/fast with appropriate turning circles, and fire to jump (if you have a good enough hoverboard) - and there's even a few powerups to collect along the way.

Thankfully, the shift keys act as volume controls, allowing you to kill the music at your discretion. The music is let down not by composition, but by the choice of sounds which do grate after a while. The menu can be confusing, because it has no text, but if you have access to the manual thats easily solved everything does eventually make sense. A WHDLoad slave for this game would work wonders, as the disk routine is rather clunky. Actually, this game is an absolute gem, but has a terrible ADF version, and should really only be played from IPF or original disk.
