Alien Spaceships (O.K. so what's new!) A 'n' F have updated Cylon Attack (a very sought after game) so popular that A 'n' F had great difficulties to improve the game, but they have done it. Cylon Attack is now in isometric perspective (3D).

Although the main screen is quite small and monochrome, apart from when there are explosions, this helps to allow for some fast moving 3D effects.Having a scanner above also allows for some tactical play, as you can move around shooting the tie-fighter style enemies. There are also some other nice graphics, including the A 'n' F logo.
The most annoying feature is the sound effect when firing, which is a shame as some of the other audio cues are actually well designed. Overall, this is a very polished early 3D shooter that combines blasting with strategic elements such as managing fuel levels.
