A simple autoscrolling shooter by Brendan Reville before he started publishing games under the Twilight Software label. An alien spaceship is bombarding Earth with radiation, so an advanced fighter is sent to enter and destroy it. Inside the ship, a defense system made of thousands of ships and guns attempts to stop you. A single hit destroys your ship, which is a concept that I've never been fond of. Fortunately a Novice difficulty level was added to v1.3 which gives you infinite lives. You'll need them!
