MAJOR STRYKER
                                A GAME REVIEW

     In the not-so-distant future the calamity of World War III led to
     eventual world peace.  But it did not last . . . Earth was invaded
     by alien marauders--the Kretons. Earth's united military force, still
     depleted after the mighty onslaught of WWIII, was not nearly
     sufficient to repel the numerous Kreton attacks.

     It was discovered that the Kretons had used a wormhole to invade our
     region of space from their home worlds.  And with that knowledge,
     Earth called into action Major Harrison Stryker, hero of WWIII, to
     travel back through the worm hole and destroy the Kreton’s home world
     headquarters.

     With almost no chance of success, you accept the mission.!

     Major Stryker is the first Apogee game with "triple-parallax
     scrolling," adding to the illusion of depth and danger.  Your mission
     is to pilot a high- powered, armored space ship through dozens of
     stunning scenarios, such as space stations, lava caves and alien
     cities.

     Exciting features:

     ? Ad Lib music and Sound Blaster digitized effects.

     ? EGA/VGA high-speed animated graphics.

     ? Cinematic sequences.

     ? Unlike any other Apogee game yet.

     ? Full of bonuses and secrets to discover.

     ? Save and restore up to 10 games.

     ? Play with joystick or keyboard.

     ? Exciting demo mode.

     If you're into action-filled, heart pounding shoot 'em ups, then Major
     Stryker is your ticket to adventure.

     OK, Adventurers, fire up your afterburners!  Major Stryker is a tough
     little games to beat.  To say that it has become a frustration, is
     putting it mildly.

     When saving your game, it gets saved from the start of the level
     you're on.  You can save all you want, but when you restore, you're
     back to the beginning of whatever level you've attained.  Talk about
     seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and not having long enough
     fingers to reach out and touch it!

     I won't tell you that it took me a couple of weeks to get off LEVEL
     1, nor will I tell you that I still haven't gotten off of LEVEL 2.
     Therefore, I trust that you'll take my word (have I EVER lied to
     you about these games??? My lifeblood??? NO!!! Never!!) when I tell
     you that this game is a tough little sucker!

     Don't be discouraged though.  The mission can be accomplished, but
     it ain't easy!  Jump into this one...you'll literally spend hours
     fighting your way through.  The compensation for the frustration of
     dying before your mission is completed, is that the graphics are truly
     stunning.  You really get the sensation of flying above a starship
     (I can't attest to the other scenes, yet, but I'm sure they're as
     graphically realistic as the first two are).  Watch out for all the
     little ships, big ships, and cannons all over the place that will
     attempt (and usually succeed) to foil you in your quest to complete
     your mission.
