Alien8 is a game by software house "Ultimate Play the Game".

This is te Ricochet re-release

Alien 8 on BBC as with all the machine's Ultimate games was outsourced, but credited to A.C.G. and is a very solid version of the game, the graphics are totally monochrome, and it does suffer from having the directional controls of the Z80 versions removed, and makes an already stiff challenge even more difficult.

Paul Proctor was given the task of converting this from the Spectrum
