Editor note

Control consist of three keys, left right and fire. 1-8 players can share a keyboard to compete.
Pilots do not die when their ship is destroyed by a sing shot, rather they bail out and parachute to the ground. During this time they can be killed.
The game is impressive for its day by having as many as 56 smooth animations on screen at once.
