Too Long; Didn't Read

"Bosconian" is an obscure 1981 arcade game by Namco, best known for the classic shoot-em-ups Galaxian and Galaga. A port for the MSX series of home computers was released in 1984 under the title Bosconian: Star Destroyer. A reworked version for the big 3 8-bit computers (ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64) would see the light of day in 1987. This game supports both keyboard and joystick controls – for the purpose of this review I will play using my custom-made 2-button arcade stick.
