he days of the Empire are over. The Big Brother is no longer watching anyone. Everybody tries to express their unique personality, bringing out the weird and wicked long buried in their souls. It is called the Stellar Sixties.

The latest craze is the Roketz. Of course you can't (or at least shouldn't) drive the noisy little crafts, crammed to the brim with raw firepower, in peaceful commuter traffic. Most of the real action takes place in old production facilities and warehouses big enough to accommodate entire starfleets.

Roketz was a 360 degree scrolling shooter featuring gravity environment and thrust-and-turn gameplay similar to the likes of Thrust, Virus, and SubSpace. Just like the latter, Roketz was an excellent multiplayer game. The fast paced dogfights guaranteed high levels of adrenaline for countless hours.
