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

As a Space Invaders clone, your task in this game is to defend the Earth against endless waves of incoming aliens. The more you kill, the faster they go; if they complete their winding descent down the screen, your mission is over.

Each row in the orderly squadrons is populated by a distinct breed of vaguely-insectoid intruder, and their point values vary accordingly - you get less for zapping the cannon-fodder at the bottom, more for the higher-ups. If you get them all, a new batch of uninvited guests will drop by for another (more difficult) round. Five shields stand between you and the enemies - until they get too close - and can absorb a limited amount of damage before they give in. The occasional flying saucer which darts across the top of the screen (sometimes subversively marked "cop") can be shot for yet more points. All of this can be done in five skill levels, ranging from novice to expert. A somewhat unusual feature is the ability to move your ship up and down as well as sideways, although you’ll always be aiming straight up.
