Hyper Active is a side-scrolling shooter that was given away free with the June 1988 edition of Sinclair User magazine. Taking inspiration from the classic arcade game Defender, this game had you as an astronaut trapped on an unstable asteroid. It should be noted that this game featured some absolutely awesome menu music by Keith Tinman. You need to collect a series of energy pods. A scanner at the bottom of the screen shows the locations of each pod. In the centre of the level there was a crystal repository where you would drop the pods off at. You are armed with a rather splendid guns which zapp the alien hordes very nicely. Once you had made your way through each level you were returned the start with the difficulty ramped up.
