Alien Armada

You are a Zargian star warrior. Above you the Gorg mothership hides behind four rows of guard droids, and each droid takes three hits, going from whole to dented to cracked to gone. Dig a hole through the wall under the mothership and hit it with one laser shot for 5000 points and a new wave. Meanwhile a bomb drops at the spot where you stand, a bird swoops down and four aliens home in on you, and anything that lands on your ship costs a ship. From 10,000 points a smartbomb joins them, homing in fast, and your laser cannot stop it. Bombs, birds, aliens and droid hits all score. Levels 0 to 4 give five ships and levels 5 to 9 give three.

Controls: Use controller 1 or 2. The stick moves the ship left and right, and either button fires; hold it to keep firing. On the title, up and down choose, left and right change the level, and a button chooses.
