    • 1991, "Wreckers" (video game review) inCrash (issue 88, page 42)
      One brilliant thing about Wreckers is that you don't spend most of your time trudging around corridors. The Beacon's equipped with vertical and horizontalzipways, which are like elevators only a bit quicker and speed you between locations in a 'zip!'

      I never cared forzipways as a way to get around megastructures like this. I always thought that there was a reason God invented taxis.

      He could only stay there, suspended halfway between the top of the wall and thezipway, and wish would all come out all right. He'd taken a gamble, and sometimes you lost gambles. He felt more than saw the flyers stop, and he dropped down the remaining meter and a half to the surface of thezipway.
