Probe Software delivers a single-player isometric shooter where players navigate deadly studio arenas. Using a dual-joystick control scheme, you must blast through waves of killer robots and mindless beasts while collecting power-ups and prizes like VCRs or luxury cars. Surviving these rooms allows you to advance toward a final showdown with the show's host.
