Bridge on the river mode
There are three control modes in
the game: Cursor, Select and Fire.
Glance at the controls box for a
summary. You always start in Cursor Mode
which allows you to whizz the cursor all over
the map, and after selecting a person (and
provided they have enough action points) you
enter Select Mode. Here you can mov e your
chosen character around, or manipulate any
objects you c ome across. A quick tip is that
everyone starts with empty guns, s o your first
priority should be investing a few action points
in selecting arid loading your horribly big
weapons. Should you spot art enemy robot.
it's time for Fire Mode
When you decide to fire a gun. the map
changes to show you the clearest line of fi re
Some features of the map will disappear. as
you can fi re over them. There are three types
of shot you can make. An aimed shot has a
greater chance of hitting the target than a
snap shot. If you fancy yourself as a
bushwhacker, you can use opportunity fire.
This doesn't take effect immediately, but if an
enemy crosses your line of tire you'll take a
snap shot at him. (As long as you've got
enough action points for a snap shot, that is.)

Rebeistar is a strategy game for
one or t wo players. This month
we've got the one-player game —
next month we'll have the two-player
version (natch). In one-player mode, you
c ommand a motley crew of mercenaries set
on busting their way into a heavily-guarded
moonbase. Why is never satisfactorily
explained. Perhaps the defenders are playing
their stereo too loud, or something. Anyway,
each side has a finite number of people
(actually the defenders are robots, but you get
the idea) and each person has a number of
action points determining how much they can
do each turn, As c ommander of the raiders,
you go first, and depending how skilful you
are, there are several ways of beating the
game. (Tak e a glance at that box over there
for a full list.) Alt involve blowing up the central
defence computer. called, for s ome reason.
ISAAC. The Speccy's aim is simply to zap all
your crew before you do it.

Of course, s ome of us are a little

stretching yourself a bit, and even on Level
Eight, Rebels t ar doesn't quite cut the mustard

you fancy yourself a bit, why not take the
Stuart Campbell Challenge? In the Stuart
Campbell Challenge, just winning isn't
enough Th e true victory of a champion is
only achieved by completely destroying and
humiliating your opponent, so here's how it
goes. To achieve the ultimate triumph, you
must play Rebelstar on Level Eight, destroy
all three of the Defence Laser stations (find
'em first...), destroy the central reactor (it's In
that screenshot down on the left of this page).

here's the teeth-gritting bit - cut every single
blade of grass in the little garden section at
the right of the map. using the lawnmower.

forget that you can take on a
