Description

A small variation of "Space Invaders", has the player shooting moving the gun sideways and shooting balloons which drop bombs, which are laid out by a biplane. Each balloon shot is worth 100 points and extra points are awarded for shooting falling bombs. Three hits in succession is worth mystery points. As the game goes on, the balloons and their bombs move faster and the balloons are laid out at lower altitudes. Bombs that are dropped by the balloons damage the ground or destroy the gun platform. If the gun platform is destroyed or ground is too heavily damaged, the player loses a life.
