In 2023 you man a laser cannon on the launch deck of an orbiting colony. Four frisboids fly the same looping path one behind the other, dropping pellets, at most three at a time. Slide the cannon left and right and fire upward; a shot flies on through what it hits. Each frisboid is worth 5 points, and shooting all four clears the wave. Five waves make a level, followed by a SHOT BONUS of 5 points for each shot under 60 fired in it. A pellet on the cannon costs one of your five cannons and restarts the wave on a new path; you gain one more cannon on reaching level 5. With the HEAT SEEKER option switched on, from level 4 a blue pellet homes in on the cannon. The game ends when the last cannon is lost.

Controls: Use either controller. Push left or right to move the cannon and press either button to fire; hold it to keep firing. On the title, up and down choose PLAY, HEAT SEEKER or CREDITS, and a button confirms or switches HEAT SEEKER on or off.
