This is an early vertical space shooter game. You must destroy all aliens and a special monster that sometimes appears on the screen. Cheats / Tricks / Bugs / Easter Eggs If you destroy all the smaller aliens but one, that last alien will turn into the 'special monster' - a giant gargoyle which is named Bagle. Bagle will then dive bomb the player. Bagle can be destroyed after one hit, as he's really only faster and bigger than the smaller aliens. Game Play Fight the three types of aliens that appear in the different levels. The longer you play the more aliens will fly down to you dropping deadly bombs. Some aliens fly together in a formation making a cool jet sound. 1 Player Start 1 2 Players Start 2 Coin 1 5 Coin 2 6 Tilt T P1 Up UP P1 Down DOWN P1 Left LEFT P1 Right RIGHT P1 Button 1 LCONTROL or Mouse B1 P1 Button 2 LALT or Mouse B3 P2 Up R P2 Down F P2 Left D P2 Right G P2 Button 1 A P2 Button 2 S Released Jan, 1980 Platform Arcade Developed by Universal Co., Ltd.

The largest bonus is given for killing a chief and its three guards all in one swoop. The last alien left on the screen will grow into a larger form and rush your ship. Once all of the aliens have been destroyed, the next screen starts. Later...
