Although not on a par with the likes of Elite, it was playable (and had an ending). There were a few very minor bugs in the programming but these had no effect on the playability.

Originally released for the [[ZX Spectrum]], author [[Derek Brewster]] had decided to name his game ''Invasion 2000'', however, publishers [[Micromega]] were unhappy with the name as it didn't reflect the content of the game and made it sound like another space invaders knock-off, which the market was being flooded with at that time. Prior to settling on ''Codename MAT'', the game was also known as ''Hank'' during the development stage.
