{{Review|review=Despite its we i rd
design, The Nav i gator fits the
shape of the hand almost pefectly and gives a pistol-like
grip . With the firebutton posi-
tioned conveniently close to
the user's trigger finger, rapid
firepower is yours for the tak-
ing . Fully-functioning
microswitches also mean you
can hear and feel every click
and movement you make .
My only real criticism, and
i t's a biggie, is the awful shaft .
it ' s just too tiny and doesn ' t
allow the user to get a good
grasp of it during play .
Consequently , precise move-
ment isn't really on. Moreover.
although the shaft is made of
metal, the model under test
broke down after only three
hours of use. Not a ve ry good
recommendation. I'm sure
you ' ll agree .
Cable length is a very good
five-and-a-half foot and the
autofire mechan i sm kicks in
when the firebutton is held
down , ensuring a constant
stream of bullets during play |author=|pub=[[Atari ST Review]]|issue=May 1992|score=3/5}}
