Essentially an updated version of Galaxian, you shoot your way through wave after wave of alien ships in classic arcade shooter style. Your ship has shields, and there are frequent power-ups to restore hit points, become invulnerable, or be able to fire more shots simultaneously. You can also move vertically as well as horizontally. All of those upgrades would make the game much more fun if it wasn't limited by the fact that you have to wait for your shot (or shots) to clear the screen before you can fire again, which really slows down the gameplay. Version 2.0 dropped the EGA graphics mode. While the EGA backgrounds are nothing special, the VGA backgrounds are quite nice. There are 3 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.
Episode 1 - Death of a Starship
Episode 2 - No Way Out
Episode 3 - The Final Battle
