Source Date Notes
BBC6 Breakfast Music Show - Link 17 May 2005

Phil Jupitus and Graham Green gave an extended mention of 'Red 5' on their popular BBC Radio 6 Breakfast Music Show'. Although the the name of the game or the URL weren't given out on air, you could hear the unmistakable game sounds in tthe background! Click here for audio clip of broadcast.

The website says:

"The Star Wars films have proved a huge source of inspiration for games programmers over the years (well, the first few, anyway), as shown by this astonishing home-made 100%-unofficial recreation of the Death Star trench attack scene".
FHM Magazine Friday Email - Link 13 May 2005

Lads magazine FHM includes Red 5 on their weekly newsletter.

"Destroy the Death Star in this pixelated tribute to the Star Wars saga. Thankfully, no camp robots to be seen."

"Lewis, brilliant game :) You have destroyed all productivity [in our office]"
Richard Brookes (via email) "I usually play for about half an hour a time, hitting the Restart button in frustration if I miss the 39th Tie and lose the combo, and sitting, tense, after getting perfect accuracy on the ties, hoping that my hand won't slip at the key moment, losing the bonus.

" I think the game is pretty much perfect, it's a great little arcade shooter.

"When will the Millenium Falcon Asteroid Chase version come out?"
