Editorial overview
What it is
Earthlight is a shooter featuring parallax scrolling and shadow effects, a novelty for the Spectrum.
The premise
The player takes the role of an alien explorer from the star-system of Arcturus, called Slaatn, who has been drawn off-course by a beam of energy from Earth and has had to make a landing on the moon. Slaatn must neutralise the box-like transmitters and thus eliminate the force field.
