Blast waves of asteroids and battle hordes of UFOs in this modern take on an arcade classic. “See the stars like never before,” said the job description. “Join an elite group. Learn advanced piloting skills. Generous pay.” What it didn't say was “Dodge incoming laser fire from hostile UFOs.” Life in the asteroid belt does have attractions. The thrill of flying a tricky path through fields of debris, the camaraderie of fellow pilots, the beauty and solitude found among the unchanging stars. And the pay is indeed generous. But it also has dangers, and plenty of them. I've made a career out here, but do you have what it takes to join us and become one of the Rock Rats? • Blast your way through endless swarms of asteroids • Battle UFOs whose intent is less-than-friendly • Situation hopeless?
