I combined the category of Arcade and MAME together, because the arcade game is just too rare.
PLAYING TIPS:
- as well as left/right movement, you can fly forward and backwards (push up or down)
- You should only use the fly up and backward as a means to control where the enemies are... you don't want to continuously move forward!
- Shoot aliens, and use hyperspace when you get caught in a tight spot and are about to get killed. The hyperspace gets replenished every wave, so use it!
- If you fly backwards, you can force enemies into the "top" where they can't shoot you. But fly backwards too long and eventually you'll "wrap around" into where all the enemies are!
- Flying backwards is a great way to avoid and shoot the "seeker" bullets.
- Shoot the planet and then pick up the astronaut to trigger the bonus mode. All enemies stop shooting and are worth extra points when in this mode.
- If you hold off on shooting enemies until you get the astronaut, you'll score higher points per wave by shooting them all during the bonus mode.
- Don't die
Trivia: This game was Konami's answer to "Defender".
