Description

The space station Alpha sits in the middle of the screen, guarding a nuclear reactor, and Cylon fighters launch at random from all four edges to fly straight at it on suicide runs. Push the stick toward a fighter to fire that side's laser; the button sets off a smart bomb that destroys every fighter on the screen, and you start with three. Each fighter is worth a point. At 30 points the launches come twice as often and the side fighters speed up; at 50 the top and bottom ones do too and you win a bomb; at 60, 110 and 150 you earn a bonus station and bomb. A fighter reaching the reactor destroys the station, and losing three ends the game. The five best scores are kept with their initials.

Controls: Use either joystick. Push the stick toward a fighter to fire the laser on that side, and press the button for a smart bomb. Initials for the high-score table are chosen with the stick. The keypad is not used.

ColecoVision version credited in the source to Claude (an AI made by Anthropic) for Amy Studio, in Amy, the language by Amy Bienvenu, 2026: a faithful adaptation of the published rules. From COMPUTE!'s Gazette, August 1983, page 48: original VIC-20 program by Mark Dudley. This is a modern homebrew adaptation, not a commercial Coleco release.
