Best described as a mix of Gravitar and Lunar Lander. Your mission is to collect all the fuel pods and transport them to the collector(s). You must also destroy all enemy defenses while you're at it. To transport the pods you pick them up with your tractor beams. You can also transport dead enemy units that contain new technology (weapons, shields) to the collector so that the new tech can be added to your ship's inventory. When each mission is completed you must land your ship on the landing platform. The better your landing, the better your pilot rating will be which is used to calculate the end-of-level bonus. Enemy defenses consist of stationary particle cannons, mobile hover tanks and flying saucers. Enemy difficulty may increase after a completed mission. The game consists of 6 planetary bodies with each having 6 missions. At the start of each mission you are presented with a mission stat screen that explains the primary and secondary missions as well as the defenses you can expect to encounter. Any new technology collected during a mission will be researched and added to your ship's inventory. Your ship's weapon inventory begins with only a tractor beam and particle cannon. Along the way you'll collect additional weapons which consist of the static gun, rail gun, plasma gun, cluster bomb, big bomb, vortex bomb, sub-atomic bomb and EMP.
Fuel can be replenished by using your ship's tractor beam on the enemy defenses or some fuel pods located through-out each level. Bonus points are awarded for collected items and fuel pods that are not destroyed upon completion of each level. The game is over when you run out of ships or if you run out of fuel. |
