- Star Wars appears to have been the main inspiration behind Blade Alley,
- in which you must fly your ion-driven interceptor along a defensive
- trench while avoiding or firing at the enemy craft hurtling towards
- you.
-
- The three-dimensional effects and perspective of the game are
- realistic, with shadows under each craft adding that extra touch of
- sophistication, and the player's fighter vessel handles well on either
- the keyboard or joystick.
-
- You have three lives to enable you to notch a score which might take
- you from the rank of space cadet to leader and eventually admiral.
-
- The enemy craft prove difficult to hit and although it is possible to
- stay in the game by weaving your way between them, achieving an
- impressive score is a laborious and possibly discouraging task.
-
- The game offers six screens, with varying backgrounds and additional
- hazards such as hopping aliens to increase the player's difficulties.
