Frantic is a VIC-20 space shoot 'em up published by Imagine Software on cassette in 1982.
A ZX Spectrum 48K version was planned, but never released.
[1] The player pilots a space ship while trying to keep an X and Y axis centered on the enemy, which enters the field of play at varying speeds and directions.
Centering the X and Y axis to target enemies involves engaging thrusters which in turn burns fuel.
