Power!
Power! Power! (known as Critical Mass in Europe) is a computer
game developed by Accolade in 1985 for the Amstrad
CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
Plot
The player operates a rocket-powered hovercraft whose
mission is to destroy an enemy transfer beam that is
protected not only by long-distance enemy raiders and
mines, but also molecular disorientation that sucks the
energy from the player’s attack craft.[1]
Gameplay
The player may control the hovercraft in either a normal
joystick operational mode or with vectored movement.
When the player pushes forward on the joystick the hov-
ercraft accelerates, and when pulling back on the joy-
stick, speed decreases.[1]
Reception
Power! was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #135 by Hartley,
Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" col-
umn. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[1]
