Navigating a ship through eight waves of devastating asteroids requires precise momentum control and rapid firing. This version improves upon the arcade original with more defined graphics and color. In two-player mode, competing ships appear on screen simultaneously, forcing players to dodge both astral bodies and each other to survive.
