Once again, pesky aliens are giving us Earthlings lots of grief. We previously fought them off but they managed to pinch a time machine so are using that to alter history and wreak havoc by taking crucial hostages from each period in an attempt to halt their influence. From the invention of the wheel in prehistoric times to England's King Arthur uniting Britain! And where would any of us be today without Japan and its technical wizardry? Yep, we cannot allow this - the fight is on!

What an accomplishment this game is. Created with such a small team, the result is really amazing. The game oozes creative passion. While the gameplay is really well balanced, it is a tough cookie, very hard from time to time with its moments of sheer frustration. As of level 3, timing becomes key. You will need to practice and learn the levels to complete this game, there are so many bad guys on screen it sometimes gets a bit hard to take.

Graphically, it's also nice on the eyes with well-defined graphics and animation. You really get the feeling that the developers put some thought and love into the game. Remember what I said about the large levels? Well these are wonderful and are very different to each other, they also scroll fairly smooth in all four directions.

HEEEELLLOOOO!!!!! -STARLIGHT- OF MARVELLOUS T.A.C. PRESENTS: TAC MENU 20 HHHMMM!!! IT HAS BEEN QUITE A LONG TIME AGO WHEN THE TAC 18 CAME OUT(REMEMBER THOSE GREAT GAMES WITH SOME TRAINERS)...SO YOU MIGHT THINK THAT WHAT HAVE WE DONE COZ LATELY THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY TAC STUFF AROUND,WELL,LET ME EXPLAIN... SOME WEEKS AGO I TOLD TO RED DEVIL THAT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE OUR OWN TAC MUSICDISK-COLLECTION AND I TOLD TO HIM TO DO THEM AND HE MADE COUPLE OF THEM(VERY SLOWLY,ABOUT 3 DISKS TOOK ALMOST TWO WEEKS(FUCKING SLOW)) AND BACK THEN WE THOUGHT THAT HE MANAGES TO DO THEM BEFORE HE GOES TO HIS SUMMERWORK,BUT NO,THEN THERE WERE A CHOICE OF BUNCH OF FOUR DISKS,AND SEVERAL MUSICDISK PICCIES WERE DRAWN BY RED DEVIL AND ME (SNAKE) WITH SOME ARTISTIC COLLEBRATION FROM FALLEN ANGEL WELL, THEN RED DEVIL GOT THE "BRILLIANT" MORNING AND THREE WEEKS FLYED PAST.... THEN HIS STRANGE MIND BECAME A CROSS OF GRAZY IDEA OF GETTING 1040 STE FOR HIMSELF....SO, I TOLD HIM FEW PLACES WHERE TO ASK FOR IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED SO I DECIDED TO GET THE THINGS GOING ON(ONCE AGAIN) AND CALLED TO MY BOSS AND TOLD HIM THAT THERE IS GREAT NEED OF STE NOW!!! SO HE CALLED TO HIS SECRET PLACE WHERE IS SOME OF HIS CONTACTS BUT NO LUCK!!!(SHIT) AT THE NEXT DAY I CALLED AGAIN TO MY BOSS AND ASKED IF HE CAN TELL SOME OTHER PLACES FOR ME TO TRY OUT AND ONCE AGAIN HE CALLED TO HIS OTHER SECRET CONTACTS AND GOT THE TIP... AND GUESS WHAT??? THE GUY WHO GETS THE ATARI BUSINESS GOING STANDS ABOUT FIVE KILOMETERS OF FROM RED DEVILS H.Q. BUT AGAIN...NO STE HERE,SO HE HAD TO ORDER IT FROM DANMARK AND HE TOLD TO RED DEVIL THAT HE WILL GET IT WITH ENGLISH TOS BUT THEN I WERE A BIT AFRAID THAT OUR DEVIL WILL HAVE HIS STE WITHOUT SKANDINAVIAN CHARS,OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT...WELL I DONT KNOW,BUT I FEEL THAT IT COMES WITH THEM AFTER CALLING TO THIS GUY BUT AGAIN OUT OF LUCK!!! THERE WERE NO STE IN DANMARK AT ALL, SO NOW IT HAS TO BE ORDERED DIRECTLY FROM ENGLAND AND GUESS,WILL RED DEVIL HAVE SKANDINAVIAN CHARS??? I PERSONALLY THINK THAT NOT!!! BUT WE WILL SEE THAT,NOW THERE HAS BEEN TWO OR THREE WEEKS AFTER ORDERING STE AND IT STILL HASNT APPEARED TO RED DEVILS TABLE,SO IM GONNA BE A BIT WORRY IF HE GETS IT AT ALL!!!!,SO ALL THIS HAPPENED PAST WEEKS SO TELL ME HOW TO DO SOME MENUS OR THINGS LIKE THAT BACK THEN AND EVEN IF THERE HAS BEEN TIME,RED DEVIL HAD NO MOTIVATION (OLD SHITTY 520 STFM AT HIS TABLE,NEW 1040 STE COMING SOON) AND IM IN WORK SO... YOU MIGHT WONDER WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT -STARLIGHT-,WELL ITS OUR NEW ORGANISATION WHICH WORKS UNDER T.A.C. BECAUSE RED DEVIL WILL HAVE STE SOON WE DONT WANT TO REMEMBER THOSE OLF FM DAYS ANYMORE AND THE SECOND REASON IS THAT MY CO OPERATION WITH F.A. DIDNT WORK VERY WELL(SHE DOESNT DO NOTHING!!!AND BESIDES SHE IS NOW IN WORK,SO SHE HAS NO TIME ANYWAY,SO SHE IS THE "GHOST MEMBER" OF TAC,IN OTHER WORDS IF SHE DOES SOMETHING THEN HER WORKS WILL BE USED...SO,THE FOF IS DEAD FOREVER!!!!!(SNIIF..IT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF...) AND ABOUT SANXION...ILLEGAL DIDNT WANT TO WORK WITH RED DEVIL AT ALL(I WONDERING WHY, COZ RED DEVIL IS FUCKING GREAT GUY, SOMETIMES A BIT BUSY BUT STILL....) SO,AT FIRST ILLEGAL WANTED TO GET RID OF SANXION,SO I THOUGHT IF THE CO OPERATION WITH HIM WOULD BE GREATER SUCCES THAN WITH F.A. BUT FOR SOME REASON I DIDNT ASKED....AND WHEN I ASKED RED DEVIL TO STEP IN HE JUST SAID "NO,I DONT WANT TO JUMP FROM CREW TO ANOTHER ALL THE TIME",OH WELL YOU DAMN DEVIL,NOW WE COULD HAD OUR MEGA DREAMTEAM,COZ NOW WHEN F.A. IS OBIOUSLY OUT FOR SOME TIME,IT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT TO HAVE THE GOOD OLD TIME BACK WHEN THERE WAS JUST YOU AND ME BUT YOU DIDNT WANTED TO,SO I DIDNT WANTED TO PUSH YOU!!!,SO WHEN SOME TIME WILL PAST,WE HAVE THE STE TEAM READY FOR SOME MINDBLASTING GRAFIXX (I DIDNT WANTED TO USE ALL OF STE ADVANTAGES IN GFX BECAUSE OTHERWISE ALL STFM GUYS WOULD HAVE SEEN SOME EIGHT COLOUR GFX BECAUSE OF 512 COLS PALETTE,BUT NOW,I THINK THAT THERE IS NO STFM MACHINES VERY MUCH SO WE CAN USE STE MACHINES FULL ADVANTAGES) AND GREAT MODULES(WELL,THERE HAVENT BEEN GREAT MODULE FROM ME A LONG TIME (ABOUT 8 MONTHS)) AND ALL OTHER THINGS WHAT THIS GREAT MACHINE CARRIES (WATCH OUT FOR SOME "STOS" STE THINGS TO COME OUT.... OK.TIME FOR THE POINT NOW(AFTER 120 LINES OF TEXT) WHAT YOU CAN FIND FROM THIS DISK? HMM...A GOOD QUESTION??? SOME ANSWERS??? OK. 1.MEDIEVAL CHESS ACTIVATE IT BY PRESSING KEY "1"(THAT CANT BE SO HARD) ITS A GOOD GAME WHICH REMINDS ME OF"BATTLE CHESS" BUT HAS BETTER SOUNDS AND GFX OTHER WAYS ITS LIKE CHESS EXCEPT THAT WHEN ITS YOUR TIME TO MOVE TO A NEW PLACE AND IF THERE HAPPENS TO BE OPPONENT IN THE SQUARE,YOU COME TO THE OTHER SCREEN WHERE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET THE NEW PLACE(INTERESTING OR WOT?) TRY IT OUT.....WHOOOPPSS!! ONE MORE MINOR THING...IT NEEDS 1MB TO RUN,BUT NOWADAYS THE 1MB(AT LEAST) IS MORE A RULE THAN EXCEPTION... 2. HIT THIS AND MEET THE OLD (T)RUSTY GEM DESKTOP WITH LOTSA GREEN ... THERE IS TWO NICE FOLDERS... OH,REALLY?....WHAT MIGHT THEY INCLUDE? ....I TELL YOU WHAT YOU.....GRRMMM!! THERE IS A PRETTY GOOD SONG FOR "DIGIT"(ITS A MONOCHROME TRACKER IF YOU DIDNT KNOW),SO LOAD UP DIGIT(IF YOU HAVE ONE,HEH HEH...)
