Issue 1 (Nov 1985) (Amtix) 15th Jun 2016 08:51On a lonely planet you must fight against deadly aliens to preserve the shield thai covers the planet. Should this shield perish ihen your planet will be taken over by the alien task-force.
Sitting at the top of ihe screen is the indestructible mothership which releases glowing pods. Should a pod reach the shield then it will change into another type of alien. Situated in the middle of the screen are masses of attack bombers These release two types of missiles that rain down on the shield. If a hole is created in the shield large enough for an attack bomber to fit through then one will fly down through the gap and change into a mothership. When there are enough motherships. they fly down and try to ram into you.
The heat is certainly on with this game and you need a quick trigger finger and instantaneous hand/eye co-ordination otherwise death will quickly be greeting you. Alien Break-in is initially very playable but the frustration of being killed can put you off very quickly. The graphics and sound are just about average and add nothing to the game. As shoot em ups go this is one of the most frustrating but it presents nothing new.
Overall Amtix rating: 41%
