When I was growing up, one of the best Amstrad games I ever played with my dad, was the 1986 Firebird release of ' Thrust '. It involved the controlling of a ship using vectored thrust that had to pick up orbs with a tractor beam, blasting power plants, avoiding the landscape while doing so, and then flying off into space. It was a fantastic retro game indeed, so you'll have forgive me if I got a little bit excited over Santiago Ontañón Villar's new MSX game 'Transball' which is very much like Thrust and released just recently!
