 GLASS 
 Quicksilva 1985

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : GLASS is supposed to be a flight simulator designed to train
 you for a very specific task - the planet Hygon has been taken over
 by some unpleasant aliens. They have built three citadels which act
 as bases for further military expansion. The citadels are heavily
 defended and only an ace pilot - you, hopefully - would stand a
 chance of destroying them.
 
 GAMEPLAY : For much of the game the action takes place on the
 Plains of Hygon, the "Glass" of the title - an area reflective,
 flat and devoid of anything save Hygon droids. There are three
 types of these - a spongy bouncing one, a patrol droid which
 throws bombs of some sort at you and a lobber droid which pops
 up from the horizon and fires at you every now and then.

  Two other hazards also face you. Enemy ships cross the screen from
 time to time - you have to shoot them, of course - and you must
 fly across some of the more interesting parts of Hygon at low level
 and high speed, avoiding the obstacles in your way. Eventually, if
 you survive that long, you will get to the citadel and automatically
 nuke it.

  You're equipped with two rapid fire lasers centred on the screen,
 so aiming is done by moving the craft from side to side. Points are
 awarded for hitting enemy targets. There is an infinite lives
 option but in this case the scores from each mission are not
 cumulative - you won't reach the heights of the high score table
 by cheating...

 COMMENTS : "An excellent and very pleasing shoot-em-up."
 RATING : 82% (CRASH #18, July 1985)

 NOW : It hasn't aged very well - GLASS is a distinctly mediocre game
 now.
