It's neither game, but actually the game I'm thinking of kind of combines the two into one.

It's a maze game where powerups can be either good or bad and touching certain critters, including mice, can energize you to defeat the enemies. Your turn!

It is not fun, I'm convinced of it. I've given it a try many times. I've read the manual.

HDN Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 I’ve heard a few decent reviews over the years. I’ll give it a second shot sometime. I was thinking of hooking up my INTV flashback anyways (you can only play so much INTV Lives before you go mad). Platform: Intellivision, because bandwagon. But it’s also on other platforms.

nosweargamer Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Vectron is one of those games that I both dread and look forward to reviewing because of how obscure it seems to be. So either your Haiku is too easy or you're trying to throw us off. I'll try the easy route. Is it Space Armada?
