About this game

Written by D. R. Gamon this space shoot'em up is similar to Andrew Braybrook's Uridium. It was originally released by Magnificent 7 in a compilation called "Liberator / Space Fiends" in 1986 for Commodore 16. In 1987 Alternative Software re-released it as a single game.

You are mankinds only hope as huge Motherships and their fighters from the Anconian Fleet are poised to attack and you must destroy them all. In this top view horizontal scrolling shooter you must fly your spacecraft over the surface of each Mothership, blasting the enemy fighters before attempting to destroy their reactor. As you fly you must avoid or blast the fighters, gun placements, and avoid any obstacles and if you touch any or are shot then you lose one of five lives. At the end of your run over the Mothership is the reactor and you must destroy the force fields before destroying a huge ship protecting the reactor. once destroyed you move on to the next Mothership.
