 AD ASTRA
 Gargoyle 1984

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : Ad Astra - To The Stars - is the motto of the legendary Deep
 Space Patrol. There is little to occupy a pilot as he doggedly coasts
 from station to station...

  ...That is, unless you count the deadly phasers of the formations of
 Pirate battle-cruisers and their robot Scout ships, the multi-
 directional scatter bombs, the gigantic mine-layers of the Capellan
 Anti-Terran League, the almost impenetrable curtain of lethal mines
 and the fragmentation bombs, not to mention, of course, the ever-
 present interstellar debris that litters areas of space...

 GAMEPLAY : If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't move, shoot it
 anyway! Also, take a note of the security codes...
 
 COMMENTS : "Addictive, attractive graphics and very playable."
 RATING : 80% (CRASH #4, May 1984)

 NOW : Strictly of historical interest (it was the first game from
 Gargoyle, later of TIR NA NOG fame); Ad Astra is a very, very dated
 game indeed.
