can someone ID this old arcade game?
All I can remember about it is that it took place in a nuclear reactor or something like that, and it had a kick ass bass-heavy soundtrack. It was one of those top view games that didn't feature a person or anything, I think. You had a chamber with smaller chambers off of it, and had to hide in those smaller chambers when the reactor would expand. Gods, it's been 30 years nearly, I can't remember, but it's driving me crazy.

Help?

2. Yup, just from the description, I can tell that's the one
Had it for the Atari 2600. The open reactor levels were just sheer frustration after a while...

3. got it
they even mention the music, which is what attracted me in the first place.

I must not have been all that good at the game, although I loved it, because I don't remember the vortex in the higher levels. Maybe I just forgot. I only ever saw one of these in high school.

I can't believe we don't have a retro arcade in San Diego. You'll find a Ms Pac Man around sometimes, but does anyone remember the old Star Wars game? I could play that for hours on one quarter.
