On the wave of Space Wars’ success, Cinematronics produced this game using the same vector technology. You can play this game as a single player or two in simultaneous competition (a paradigm common to many Cinematronics games of that period). The game is very simple: in the background plays a three-dimensional setting and the player’s hunt must hit the different spaceships that come to meet him, by moving the view with the joystick. In case of two players, the sights are two, as are the joysticks. You can select your speed and sometimes appears a faster and more aggressive enemy spacecraft that, of course, returns more points in case it’s hit.
The game in the collection is in excellent condition. The restoration was limited to the cleaning and the arrangement of a couple of problems with the internal electronics components, while aesthetically the original joysticks were replaced (preserving them) with a more flexible pair. The coin mechanism has been replaced in the past with a typical Atari game coin door, we are thinking about restoring the original.
