Description
Interactive Laser Disc space battle game with computer-generated
overlaid graphics. Control a space craft to defend against attacking
enemy waves then destroy the enemy command ship. Huge explosions.
Video images are from a Toei film - Message From Space.
The game play is similar to Buck Rogers Planet Of Zoom. Move your
fighter craft around the screen to avoid enemy fire, colliding with the
enemy fighters, mines, and other objects. Basically shoot anything that
moves.
The game is divided into different waves. At the end of a wave there is a
command ship which must be destroyed. Some waves required the player
to maneuver their fighter through a trench while trying to destroy enemy
fighters. With each successive wave the enemy fighters became more
aggressive and accurate with their shots.
The first 60 seconds of game play are penalty free, meaning that your
fighter can be repeatedly destroyed without the game ending. After 60
seconds, if the player is destroyed, the game is over unless an extra
ship was earned.
The enemy fighters are all laser disc generated along with the
backgrounds, except for the mines. Enemy fighters shots are computer
generated and come from the fighters as they move around the screen.
Results in a greater interactivity of the laser disc video and makes game
play less linear.
