Editor note

There is some mystery if this game's development was overseen by Atari or Broderbund. It was not announced in catalogs and no internal documents mention it. One of the two North America NTSC prototype cartridges seems ready for release and can be found on multicarts. The control is unique, pressing the fire button launches your missiles and releasing it detonates them. A detonation is fairly large and destroys anything in the area (sorta like missile command). Also unique, the 3D backgrounds are slowly rendered before each level.
