can't compare it to UT2003. The atari comparison makes more sense. I found it to be ok if you like retro-style older games. If you are into quake III don't download this.

Someone wanted to make an epic game but fell far short. You don't get anywhere near the amount of ammo you need to play this messterpiece any length of time.

For those with high intelligence, not good if you are already under stress. Please keep up the GOOD work.
This game takes one in their 40's back to times when hours wasted at a video arcade were memorable.

This game uses good graphics and sound. The controls were kept simple and the ability to make adjustments to the levels make it desirable.

Like other space shooters just shoot at anything that moves. Not highly impressive but sounds and graphics are not bad, particularly considering that this is a free game.
