Presented by world famous photographer, Ken Duncan, this screensaver is a tribute to both the beauty of Australia and the artistic eye of Mr Duncan. This is an excellent Space Invader clone where the object is to save the Earth from the alien invaders by clicking on their missiles using the left mouse button. When you 'fire' at the missiles you are rewarded with a satisfying explosion, enhanced if the missile is destroyed too. You start off with six bases which must be defended and when the last base is destroyed the game is over.

It is very playable and quite addictive. Certainly worth looking at if you like this type of game. Swift is a small and fast DOS-based text editor with some word processing features.
