The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description

Earth is under alien attack! The player is the sole defender and has to keep the alien ships from reaching their destination by ramming them. Despite the game being technically turn-based, the result is an action game: each round is on a timer and at the end of the time span, all enemies move one field - even if there was no player movement.

The round also ends when the player moves with the result that, at least on the lower difficulty levels, a fast enough pace can keep the enemies on their place. The game field (one screen) is filled with different ASCII characters which represent the game's objects: the player's ship, alien ships (are taken out of the game when touched), droid ships (deadly by touch), meteors (deadly for both the player and enemies), Earth and stationary mines (also deadly). The game ends when either all alien ships are gone, an alien ship reaches Earth or when the player dies. There are nine difficulty levels which determine the length of a round.
