Personal review

This is a 2-player Space War clone. Shoot your opponent. Don't get pulled into the Sun by its gravity. Aim your shots with gravity in mind.

This game was designed as a reference demo to be shipped with Sega's dev kits. One prototype cartridge was produced to show to Sega. It ended up in a collectors hands and was dumped on archive.org. The final version never made it to cartridge. It was, as intended, distributed as source code with Sega's dev kit so that new developers had the code of a working game to look at.
