Using alien technologies, a military force has swept to power on Mars. This totalitarian regime must be stopped and its robodroid armies destroyed. You are an elite pilot in charge of a VacFighter, an experimental craft equipped with both air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons. To successfully complete your mission you will need to master your fighter and its weapons. New weapons, bonuses and surprises will be available as you progress across the Martian battlefields! This is a basic, top-down shooter that came pre-installed on many Macintosh systems in 2002 and was ported to PC the following year. It is also the sequel to "Mars Rising" which was only on MAC. It is similar to the scrolling arcade shooter Xevious. It has twelve progressively more difficult levels. Some of the levels are named after ancient locations or battles, such as Thermopylae or Carthage. The game builds on its predecessor by using greater color depth (16 bit color, rather than 8 bit as in Mars Rising), alpha transparency, motion blur, improved artwork and a wider range of enemies and weapons. |
