[edit] Description
Published by Llamasoft Gridrunner, was a game for the Commodore International Vic 20. The idea of the game was to navigate your space ship on a grid whilst the alien catapillers rapidily travelled down it. Meanwhile you also had to avoid to laser cannons which patrolled the X and Y axis of the grid. The game was a little like Centipede but with an array of unique extras, such as shoot a segement and this turns into a timebomb.
A modern day version is available from Llamasoft
