    No reason - I just wasn't sure who'd written it - the graphics, gameplay and presentation reminded of the Vortex games.

    Also this game appears on a SU covertape along with a couple of Vortex game.

    I only played this when it was on a YS covertape (still got it!) but I could never get to grips with it properly so gave up after quite a short time. :( It certainly wasn't as bad as Explorer (on another YS covertape) though.

    Awesome. I loved Earth Shaker, always thought it was one of the best games to grace a YS covertape and I was always hoping you'd do a sequel. Better late than never :) (and nice to see another good game programmer on the forum)

    The compilation index has been corrected and a new in-game slide show created.
    It also meant that Invaders first appeared in 1986 (on this compilation) rather than 1993 (on the YS covertape), so that was corrected as well.
