A great arcade video game. Almost as good as Defender, and better than Qix. It features a challenging stage which is a source of great metaphor.

- Defender: A spin on the usual alien invasion motif, where you invade them, trying to rescue little sticky things, and the aliens fight back, and all you have is a thrillingly devastating laser cannon, a small supply of smart bombs and the ability jump randomly into hyperspace
- Space invaders calculator: I know it sounds insane, but you could have hours of cosmic fun with an ordinary digital calculator.
- Qix: which was really just a bit stupid, but through a design flaw in the game’s basic concept you could play for hours on end if you really wanted to.
All, in any case, useful metaphors for life in a modern multinational investment bank.
