I used to love reading the EAGLE comic back in the 80s when it was re-released. Dan Dare was a hero of mine and so I was excited to see him appear on the good old 64.

I was delighted to see that the game was quite cool and certainly hit the spot. Unfortunately I never saw the end until a few months back when Matt Rogers kindly sent it in ...

Our hero finally escapes the planet.

Sign your name a bugga oof. The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?: Matt completed this one with out any cheats - there's a first! ;-)

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: Well, once you have defeated the Mekon, you are given a 2-minute warning to escape the planet.

Once you walk off the final screen you get to see a miniature picture of your ship flying away and the words, "DAN AND CHUMS FLY OFF IN THE ANASTASIA ..."

The screen then switches to the HIGH-SCORE ENTRY SCREEN where you get to add your name to the list - yawn.

COMMENTS: To be totally honest, you'd kind of expect a little more of a story-board ending to this game - it's a comic strip character for flip sake! You'd expect the programmer to have produced more of a comic book style ending :-( A one-screen ending doesn't really do it for me.

FINAL SAY : MATT: 'I only discovered 68% of the map - dunno what happens if you finish it AND get 100%!'

G.E. RATING: 3 / 10
