About this game

A Defender like (right only) side scrolling shooter. You are equiped with a laser to shoot enemies and a few super bombs destroying all enemies. While fighting of enemies you have to rescue prisoners on the ground by flying close to them (whatch for gravity pulling you down). This "high-resoluation" game runs on a standard ZX81 with a 16K memory expansion module.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a terrible war took place between two hostile races. Any prisoners taken could not expect to live very long in the hands of their captors. Their only hope lay with a group of valiant warriors - the XTRICATORS - whose task it was to rescue fellow beings from the Alien planet's surface. You are about to take on the role of such a warrior....
