Gameplay

Cool action game for two players! Annihilate the aliens! Peace through superior firepower! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to defend an ancient computer against the alien beings on the moon. The fate of computer history is in your hands.

The game itself is probably best described with the screenshots below. Two players control the two cannons and shoot the aliens. Each cannon can fire straight forward and a 45 degree shot towards to other player. This is because the enemies will, unless destroyed, land on one of the rails and continue towards the cannon on that rail. That player is now helpless and must be rescued by a 45 degree shot by the other player. However, they must cooperate well so that not both have an enemy on their rail.
