I don't understand the love for this game. For one, I think it looks hideous. The force field strip is yet another example of developers of this time period getting access to color, and then vomiting it out on the screen instead of doing anything coherent with it. The gameplay itself is slightly obtuse yet so simplistic as to not be very entertaining beyond the constant threat of the homing missile.

Edit 1/16/24: I found out recently that the force field is actually the game's source code. Adding half a point to my review for that just being straight up cool. More info here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HSjJU562e8
