 One of the first 'almost' 3D space games: Easily playable, with a dozen or so controls for flying a ship (the Centurian) against a fleet of Myon vessels which are invading the solar system.
-Although not on a par with the likes of ''[[Elite]]'', it was playable (and had an ending).  There were a few very minor bugs in the programming but these had no effect on the playability.

-The game was very tricky to get to grips with thanks to the vast array of keyboard controls to compliment the joystick/cursor control of the ship.  Perseverence was key, however, and a complex but fun game was to be found inside.

-For decades the Myons have sought to dominate the Solar System, whose fleets are now ragged and depleted.  They have launched an all-or-nothing attack, knowing that Earth is developing revolutionary space-craft.  Only the prototype - USS Centurion - has been built, and it must be pressed into immediate service as both battle-cruiser and tactical command centre.

 Piloting the craft in battle and controlling the Planetary Defence Fleets is beyond any normal human... MAT is created.
-Now your mind is MAT's mind.  Take control of the Centurion and blast off on the greatest adventure of all...
