Traverse pseudo-3D underground mazes to eliminate waves of hostile robots in this sci-fi shooter. Players can hunt for health and bonuses from flying saucers while fighting through Gauntlet-style environments. A split-screen mode allows for two-player cooperative play, though players must be careful as bullets can accidentally harm one another during combat.
