CX-5216. Rarity 2 Common+. North America NTSC.
Pilot your ship through a tunnel to reach the City of Mystery while enemies approach from all sides. Fortunately you can fire in four directions also. There are 8 zones per tunnel and several tunnels. You get to choose your staring point You can fly through mountain, rainbow, stick, stripe, bleak, or city zones. Zones can scroll horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Each zone and scroll combination has its own sets of enemies. At the end awaits Gond, this scrolling shooter has a boss. Defeat Gond and you will start over, but the next tunnel will have zones arranged differently. Be sure to collide with 'invincibility E' tanks and 'score C' snakes. Refuel simply by blowing things up. Styx Zones have no E tanks. Most enemies are a challenge, moving about seemingly without adherence to a predictable pattern. However, orbs have a pattern of reacting to the player's movements. This allows them to be easily defeated once this pattern is discovered.

Control:
Move in the direction you wish to fire. There is an autofire option. Your ship must slow down to shoot.
Only move vertically, the orbs courteously will fly into your field of fire above or below your ship.
