Flash and his little red space ship

Comments:

According to the back of the box another American space ship has gone missing near 'Spider City' and the only guy capable of rescuing them is Flash Gordon! So you play Flash (# AHHHHH, Savior of the universe! #) flying his space ship around collecting little green men and shooting planet looking things. You navigate your way around via the map at the bottom of the screen. The idea is to fly over the dots (which makes the planet things appear) while avioding the cross shapes which follow you around. Once you fly over all the dots you go the the next stage (which looks exactly the same but the screen is a different colour). That's all there is to it. There is no music (which is probably a good thing) and the sound effects are very antiquated. Not bad but not that enjoyable either.
