Game Introduction

Similar in layout to Williams's earlier titles, Defender and Stargate: you control a heavily-armed spaceship flying over side-scrolling terrain protecting humans on the surface. The difference is the humans are being stalked by green reptilian aliens which consume the humans and fly into the air to join the enemy spaceships looking to eliminate you.

Better graphics than the predecessors, and the myriad of weapon power-ups could turn the screen into a multicolor fireworks display of firepower. Contains everything great about classic Williams coin-ops: big, loud, flashy, complete sensory overload, challenging, and good gameplay.
