Game Details

Simple reaction based game - b/w with colour overlays. The controls were 5 large yellow buttons, 4 arranged in NSEW directions, and a fire button. You control a space station in the middle of the screen that is attacked by ships from the outside. You aimed your cannon with the 4 aiming buttons, and fired with the fire button.

***** by rbexley1. Comment: "This games was my FIRST exposure to video games. My stepfather owned the tabletop cabinet version where two people can sit facing each other waiting for their turn. This allowed for maximum smacktalk (and maximum drink spillage unfortunately). The game is VERY basic, but immensely challenging once you progress. Instinct kicks in at some point and you aren't even in control of your own limbs. I was 6 when I played this game and by 8 I was as good as my stepfather. We bonded over this game like none other.

--- 720 --- (Contributor: unknown) In the ramp section, levels 8, 9, and 10: holding down the kick and jump buttons simultanously on the lip of the ramp will boost your air. This trick only works when you're going the correct speed (usually your third or fourth jump), and only once (as far as I can tell) per ramp session per level. ----------- Afterburner ----------- (Contributor: Anthony D.
