Invaders from a distant star have turned Earth into a desolate wasteland, humanity has only just survived.  Only one man known as “The Vindicator” can fight the evil invaders and take back Earth.   The battle takes place over three parts.  The first a tortuous maze where you kill aliens for ammo and parts to build a device that will make you capable of eliminating the invaders.  The second part you take to the air and the third part you race across the surface in your high powered jeep for one final battle against the giant guardian of the catacombs.  The standouts are music and graphics in particular exploring the maze and rooms of part 1.  It’s smooth and amazing to play, sprites are detailed with good animation and use of colours. An interesting note about the game is that it was billed as the sequel to arcade game Green Beret but plays nothing like it.
