Anyone recognise this map?

I'm working on the indexing of Games Machine and this map was printed in the June 1988 issue but they didn't identify the game. Does anyone recognise it?

    To summarise some information from the map: pieces of a shuttle have to be collected to escape; weapons include rifle, blaster & bazooka; it's a side-view action game; game-play is primarily left-to-right with lifts for vertical movement, except for one section using a jet-pack.

    Like Zeropolis I would have said Trantor too. The only thing that throws me is the JET PAC part. I'm sure I completed Trantor and remember no such thing.

    This may be of some help (maybe not!).

    I've interrogated my database to pluck out any Crash review that contains any of the following phrases: bazooka, jet p, jetp, guru, datapack, shuttle which are all mentioned on the map.

    There's also a mention on the map of "alien on front of box" which may narrow it down.

    Looks the most likely candidate so far after viewing the map on WOS.

    Yes, that's the one - Obliterator. If you compare the map published in C&VG a couple of months later, the description, map sections and item locations all match up. Thanks!
