Review:

A typical early CRL game where they seemed to think people would buy a game because of what it was about rather than how it was written. That usually meant painfully slow BASIC games with virtually no gameplay like this one. Sadly, their marketing ploy seemed to work really well and garbage like this actually sold in greater numbers than they deserved.
