The program is called "Spectre" and it is very much like Battle Zone, but
there aren't any 'buzz bombs' and there's a little more to the game than just
survival. However, as far as arcade-type games go, it's kinda lame. The graphics
are well done for vector types, but it gets boring after a few levels.
