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

Mankind's last defender is pitted against an endless wave of alien ships, hellbent on destroying the Earth using incredibly powerful explosives. You must outwit their evasive maneuvers and take them down before they carry out their nefarious scheme.

You are given a strict time limit to hunt down each ship, and it gets shorter and shorter as the game progresses: take aim and fire before the countdown expires, or the enemy will plant its explosive charge in Earth's orbit. If ten of them succeed, the Earth is doomed. Published in Compute! Magazine Issue 051 from August of 1984.
