  • Review Uridium (Virtual Console / Commodore 64)

    15 Super-Dreadnought ships have invaded your galaxy, each looking to steal a different precious metal.

    Uridium is a much loved classic amongst Commodore 64 enthusiasts. Well known for its fast-paced gameplay and unique game mechanics, at least some of that reputation is deserved. Designer Andrew Braybrook was known for his idiosyncratic but...

  • News EU VC Releases - 28th March - Commodore 64

    If you like the number 64 you're in luck today - Not only are there three new games, they're all for the Commodore 64 and Nintendo 64! Obviously this also means there's now a new system on VC. Commodore 64 games cost 500 Wii Points each.

    As the C64 is arguably bigger news than a new N64 game (It's not that great of a game anyway), its two games are...

  • News Hardware Focus - Commodore 64

    In 1982, TIME magazine named the home computer as its annual "Man of the Year".

    It was a non-specific award, given to home computers in general, but looking back, it could be argued that the Commodore 64 deserved the accolade more than most; although TIME had no way of knowing it back then, the C64 went on to become the best-selling home computer...

  • News Commodore 64 coming to Virtual Console

    Regular readers will remember that quite some time ago we reported on C64 games coming to the VC. We ended up with egg on our face as it turned out to be some sort of mistake on Nintendo's Norwegian website and no more details about this ever materialised.

About The Game

15 Super-Dreadnought ships have invaded your galaxy, each looking to steal a different precious metal. Destroy the dreadnought's defensive forces, then land to finish the job.

Fly your Manta fighter across the screen, speed up, slow down, perform a 90-degree roll and shoot lasers to destroy both ground targets on the dreadnought, and enemy fighters.

When the dreadnought's defences are gone, the message "Land Now" flashes on screen. Fly to the right side of the dreadnought and fly your ship across the run-way, left to right. This brings you to the fuel rod chamber, where you finish the job. Time pressing with the flashing pyramid of lights until time is about to expire, then select "Quit" and press to make your escape before the ship is destroyed. You will be taken to the next enemy dreadnought.
