Game Introduction
The game has a first-person view of the disc's animation. Use the joystick to aim the crosshairs and fire at the robots. Rotate the x-axis to dodge objects and to choose travel paths.
Game Play
The player starts off inheriting a gun, then takes off on a tour through the city, taking out robots in all kinds of public places including baseball games, highways, parking lots, and department stores. If you get caught, you get thrown in jail. If you have lives left, you will be 'broken out' and then led on a different path through the city. It all leads to a trip to the stars (via the Galaxy Express 999, of course) which leads you to the source of the robot infestation.

Trivia
This laserdisc game uses anime from the films Galaxy Express 999 and Adeiu Galaxy Express 999. This was the only game that Millenium Games ever released.
Miscellaneous
The game play is very different from any other laser game in that it allows the player to choose more than one correct move in any given onscreen threat. Most laser games of this era allow only ONE correct move with multiple incorrect moves.

Technical
The original prototype units run on Williams Star Rider boardsets. The only difference lies in the location of the ROMs and PIF board and it runs on a Philips 22VP931 laser player. However, after the prototype units were perfected, Mellenium created separate hardware for their dedicated Freedom Fighter units and housed them in Dynamo cabinets.
