User rating: 0.0 (0 votes)
Another one of those extremely simple but addictively fun games. Your ship is in a single-screen wraparound environment full of asteroids, but there are waves of aliens flying onto the screen in formation. Kind of a mix between Asteroids and Galaga. Graphics and sound are quite good, and there's even voice. Versions 3.0 and above have Win32-only installers but are still DOS games. There are 3 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.

Episode 1 - Into The Storm
Episode 2 - Whirlpool of Death
Episode 3 - Heart of the Fire
